Delicious Honey Lime Chicken Sliders
These sliders consist of tender chicken pieces coated in a sweet and tangy honey-lime glaze, paired with smooth avocado spread on soft mini buns. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (for avocado)
- Mini slider buns
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, mix honey, lime juice, lime zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Prepare the Avocado: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble the Sliders: Slice the mini buns in half. Place a piece of sliced chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with a generous spoonful of mashed avocado, and add the top half of the bun.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
