Ingredients
Meat
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb boneless chicken breast or thighs
Sliders
- 6 slider buns
- 1/2 cup shredded lettuce or cabbage
Sauce & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
Instructions
- Form beef patties: Shape the ground beef into small slider-sized patties and season both sides evenly with garlic powder and black pepper to build flavor.
- Cook beef patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the beef patties for approximately 3–4 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked and have a nice sear.
- Cook chicken: In the same skillet, cook the boneless chicken pieces until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, which should take about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, slice chicken into small pieces suitable for sliders.
- Prepare maple glaze: In a small bowl, combine the maple syrup and soy sauce, stirring well to create a sweet-savory glaze.
- Glaze the chicken: Toss the sliced cooked chicken lightly in the maple-soy glaze to coat the pieces evenly and infuse them with flavor.
- Toast buns: Lightly toast the slider buns in a dry pan or toaster just until warm and slightly crisp to enhance texture.
- Assemble sliders: Spread mayonnaise and mustard evenly on the insides of each toasted bun. Place one beef patty and a portion of the maple-glazed chicken on each bottom bun half.
- Add greens and serve: Top the meat with shredded lettuce or cabbage for freshness, then cover with the bun tops. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy.
Notes
- Add pickles or cheese slices to the sliders for extra flavor and texture.
- For a spicy twist, substitute the mayo with a spicy mayonnaise or add a dash of hot sauce.
