A healthy version of chicken burgers. Say no to fast-food, and make this easy recipe at home -- cilantro lime chicken sliders!

Craving a burger? 🍔 Say no to ordering out & make your own burger at home!

A McChicken sandwich from Mcdonalds is around 350 calories and has added sugars in the form of dextrose! 

My healthy alternative to McD's are these delicious cilantro lime chicken sliders!  One slider is less than 160 calories each with all the toppings + its all natural! 

Cilantro Lime Chicken Sliders

In a bowl combine the following:
-1 pound of ground white meat only chicken breast (this made about 12 small patties!)
-1 finely chopped yellow onion
-6 cloves of minced garlic
-Juice from 1 lime
-1 cup of chopped cilantro
-2 teaspoons of cumin
-2 teaspoons of minced jalapeno
-2 teaspoons paprika
-1 teaspoon fresh mint (can used dried version as well)
-1/2 cup bread crumbs
-1 tablespoon salt
-1 tablespoon pepper

-Mix it up!
-Make into small patties (use some olive oil if too sticky)
-Grill up the patties on a pan for 4 minutes on each side (or until cooked through)


Go bun-less to save on even more calories <3 OR serve the patty with light wheat toast with and your favorite toppings. I used a little bit of cheese, lettuce and tomatoes!
