Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 sliced medium tomato
- 8 pieces large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 sliced red onion
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each piece for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado into thin slices, and slicing the tomato and red onion as well.
Assemble the sliders by placing a grilled chicken thigh onto each lettuce leaf. Top with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Fold or wrap the lettuce leaves around the chicken and toppings to form sliders. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious paleo-friendly meal!
