Baja Chicken and Slaw Sliders

Much like my friend Catherine, I love tiny food.  It’s just fun don’t you think?  Anyway, I was excited to try these Baja Chicken & Slaw Sliders.  They looked kind of fancy, but were actually really easy to make, especially if you skipped the chicken-pounding step and just used cutlets.  Here’s how they came together:

First I mixed together sour cream, lime juice, and lime zest.  I also added a little bit of chipotle chili pepper for a kick.

Next, I mixed broccoli slaw mix, onion, cilantro, some jalapeno, lime juice, and sugar. I seasoned the chicken cutlet halves with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and then grilled the chicken on my grill pan.

This recipe called for Hawaiian rolls – I love Hawaiian rolls and they were also on sale that week.  Woohoo!  I toasted them on the grill pan before assembling the sliders.

The finished product – rolls with the sour cream mixture, tomato, chicken, and slaw:

These were great.  Phillip especially loved them (as evidenced by the five he ate!).  The only thing I might change would be to add some more spices to the sour cream mixture just to give it some more dimension.  These would make great party food and I think even kids would go for them, despite the broccoli.  It was easy enough for a weeknight meal and we’ll definitely have them again sometime.
