Baja Chicken & Slaw Sliders Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Grill: 10 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
1/4 teaspoon lime juice
SLAW:
1 cup broccoli coleslaw mix
2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet red pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon sugar
SLIDERS:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
8 Hawaiian sweet rolls, split
8 small lettuce leaves
8 slices tomato

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime peel and lime juice. In another small bowl, combine the slaw ingredients. Chill the sauce and slaw until serving.
Cut each chicken breast in half widthwise; flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle with seasonings.
Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4 to 7 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
Grill rolls, cut sides down, for 30-60 seconds or until toasted. Serve chicken on rolls with lettuce, tomato, sauce and slaw. Yield: 8 servings.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Made this for supper tonight to beat the heat. Excellent and delicious. Husband raved about it and had seconds. Love the sweet Hawaiian rolls and the sour cream and lime, buy afresh lime for sure. Slaw is great a nice change, must put it on your sandwich.

These sliders are CRAZY good! Everyone loved the fresh, cool, spicy, sweetness in every bite. I would make these every night if I could. WOW!
