Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 slider buns
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. This will be the marinade that packs a flavorful punch!
- Add chicken breasts to the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, let it marinate longer for maximum flavor infusion. Go watch an episode of your favorite show; the chicken can wait!
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Feel free to give those bad boys a good grill mark action while you’re at it; it’s all about presentation!
- Once grilled, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into smaller pieces that will fit perfectly on those slider buns.
- Assemble your sliders! Start with a slider bun, layer with grilled chicken, top with lettuce, tomatoes, and a dollop of mayonnaise if you’re feeling extra.
- Serve immediately and watch them disappear faster than you can say “sliders!” Enjoy the compliments from your friends while secretly feeling like a culinary genius.
These cilantro lime grilled chicken sliders are pure joy in a bun! Easy to prepare and impossible to resist, you might want to double the recipe because they’re always a hit. So, grab your ingredients and get cooking; your taste buds are waiting!
