Kids love mini food. I think it makes them actually eat more. So I decided that instead of regular chicken burgers, kid sized sliders are the way to go for my guys.
For the buns I used Elanas Pantry’s Paleo Bread recipe. But instead of baking it in a loaf, I made them in my whoopie pie pan and reduced the baking time to 11 minutes. They came out great. Each one is perfectly slider sized and slices easily.
CHICKEN SLIDERS
1 lb ground chicken
1 egg
1/4 c almond flour (if your chicken is very wet you may need a little more)
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
2 tsp oil of your choice for browning
Combine all ingredients in food processor and process until well combined.
Heat large skillet on medium/high.
WET HANDS, and add about 1/4c sized ball of chicken to hot skillet and press into patty (I find it hard to make patties before since chicken is sticky).
Cook about 4 minutes (until brown) and flip.
Cook other side until brown, and burger is cooked throughout.
Slice bun in half and put chicken burger on.
Topping suggestions:
bacon, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce
Salsa and guacamole
Lettuce, tomato, ketchup
Flavored mayo, red onion
