Ready in just 30 minutes, this recipe is a must-try for anyone seeking a quick, crowd-pleasing meal thatβs naturally gluten-free.
Start by flattening the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture all over both sides of the chicken breasts. Let them marinate while you prepare the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Be sure to clean and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165Β°F (75Β°C).
Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into smaller pieces to fit the slider buns.
In a separate bowl, combine gluten-free mayonnaise and lemon juice to make a simple lemon mayo.
Toast the gluten-free slider buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until lightly crisped.
Assemble the sliders by spreading a little lemon mayo on the bottom half of each bun, followed by a lettuce leaf.
Place a piece of grilled chicken on top, then add a slice of tomato and some thinly sliced red onion.
Top with the other half of the slider bun to complete. Serve immediately.
