Satisfy your craving for a protein-packed, low-carb meal with these irresistible Keto Chicken Sliders. Juicy chicken breast fillets, seasoned with a savory blend of garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil, are skillet-seared to golden perfection before being topped with melted cheddar cheese. Instead of traditional buns, each slider is stacked on crisp lettuce leaves and layered with fresh cherry tomatoes and a creamy avocado-mayo spread for the ultimate keto-friendly bite. With just 15 minutes of prep and bursting with flavor and texture, these sliders are perfect for keto dieters or anyone looking for a healthy, handheld meal. Serve them warm as an appetizer, party snack, or light dinner option!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly the chicken breasts to make them thinner and cut each into four equal-sized pieces.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat the chicken pieces evenly with this mixture.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked chicken pieces to a baking sheet and top each with a slice of cheddar cheese. Place in the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese melts.
Meanwhile, cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash it in a bowl and combine with mayonnaise and lemon juice to make a creamy spread.
Assemble the sliders by placing a lettuce leaf on a serving platter, followed by a slice of tomato and a piece of the cheesy chicken.
Top the chicken with a spoonful of the avocado mixture.
Secure with a toothpick and repeat for the remaining chicken pieces.
Serve immediately while warm.
