    I hardly know where the itch for these fried chicken sliders came from. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a fried chicken slider on a restaurant menu. Perhaps it comes from my love of fried chicken, and my fancy for all things Mexican food. Or maybe it’s because my slider board on Pinterest is my most popular. I do know I’ve been looking to make more Mexican chicken dishes with chicken and it seems anyone with a pulse can’t resist a little slider.

    And then there’s the fact that I have a freezer full of roasted Hatch, Mirasol and Poblano peppers from last fall that I’m hoarding.

    With that said, these little chicken sliders turned out better than I expected. You’d think the tender chicken coated with spiced panko bread crumbs, which were sauteed into crunchy bliss would most surely be the star.

    But I’d have to say the Poblano Mayo deserves honorable mention. Tangy, creamy and with just the right amount of heat. The tang comes from a little pour of white wine vinegar before stirring the whole thing together. Vinegar with mayo may be one of those kitchen discoveries that just leads to trouble. Will I be able to eat just plain mayonnaise again?

    Let’s take a look:

    Ingredients

    • 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast cut into cutlets
    • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1/3 Cup Mayonnaise
    • 2 Poblano Peppers roasted, seeds and top removed, diced
    • 3 Tablespoons onion diced
    • 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
    • Slider buns
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, combine Panko Bread Crumbs, chili powder, cumin cayenne, salt and pepper. Stir to blend.
    • Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally, to make cutlets. Then cut those pieces in half. Trim just a bit so they’ll fit the slider bun. With a meat mallet, pound to flatten just a little more.
    • In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, diced Poblano peppers, the chopped onion and white wine vinegar. Mix well to blend.
    • Coat each chicken breast well with the Panko Bread crumb mixture.
    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil. When hot turn down heat to medium and add chicken cutlets. Brown on each side for about 3 minutes per side. 
    • Remove pan from heat and place a lid on the skillet. Just let those chicken slider steam for about a minute before removing and placing on the bun.
    • Slather with the Poblano mayo and serve.

    Notes

    This makes 4 sliders.

      Lea Ann, I don’t know how I missed this one, but I’m glad you tweeted about it today! I want one right this minute! And, yes, vinegar and mayo, well, there’s just nothing like it to jazz up a sandwich.

      PS I just realized my spoon rolls would make perfect little buns for these!
