Lighter in Calories and Fat than beef, and so moist in texture
You can serve these tasty little patties over greens, or wrap them in beautiful little butter lettuce leaves. I’ll take slider buns, thank you ver much.
I decided to turn these flavorful chicken patties into Thai chicken sliders, simply using sweet Chile Sauce for the condiment. Here’s what cool about these these little patties They stay nice and moist with the addition of grated zucchini and carrot, and are deliciously flavored with ginger, onion, cilantro, and lime. I have to admit, as much as I like beef burgers, these are a refreshing break.
Thai Chicken Sliders
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb . ground chicken meat
- 1/2 large white onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 c . zucchini grated and drained
- 1 carrot grated
- 1 Tbsp . fresh ginger grated
- 1 tsp . lime zest
- 1 jalapeno seeded and diced (I used a mild variety with no heat)
- 2 Tbsp . fish sauce
- 1 tsp . soy sauce
- 1 large egg slightly beaten
- 1/2 c . panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 C . fresh cilantro chopped
- Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce I use the Trader Joe's brand
Instructions
- Grilled outside or on a cast iron grill pan indoors, allow them to create a sear on one side before turning.
- Combine all ingredients. The mix will be a little soft. Chill in the refrigerator while the grill or pan heat up.
- Heat your pan to medium/high heat. Take out the meat mixture and scoop with a muffin scoop for uniform patties. Brush your grill lightly with vegetable oil, place patties on the grill and gently flatten with a spatula. They should be about 1/2" thick. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until you achieve clear grill marks. Place on a baking pan and finish off for 5-8 minutes in a 350 degree oven so they will cook all the way through. Cover with aluminum foil until ready to serve.
- Serve over a big salad or wrap in a lettuce leaf or make them as sliders. Dip in sweet chili dipping sauce for an extra flavor kick, or if making sliders, drizzle the chili sauce over the patty as a condiment.

Lea Ann says
November 12, 2013 at 4:50 amI don’t use chicken for burgers enough. Adding the zucchini kept them nice and moist. We loved these Abbe.

SeattleDee says
November 11, 2013 at 9:20 pmThe Thai chicken patties alone sound delicious and SO versatile for everything from an appetizer to a light lunch, and make an awesome slider component. I’m in!

Buttoni says
November 12, 2013 at 10:13 amThese sound amazing, Leeann. I can use low-carb breadcrumbs for the panko and give these a try! I look forward to trying them! Bet you could make them with ground pork loin, too.
Lea Ann says
November 14, 2013 at 4:26 pmThanks for stopping by and the comment. I’m sure those low-carb breadcrumbs would work just fine. Let me know if you give them a try.
Vickie says
November 12, 2013 at 11:48 amI have loved all the versions of sliders you’ve posted! This one looks and sounds delicious. I checked out Andrea’s blog and am so going to make Gyoza. Just a side note, the first time I ever heard of Sliders was the famous White Castle sliders that the Beastie Boys sang about on License to Ill. Still love that CD. 🙂
Lea Ann says
November 14, 2013 at 4:28 pmThanks Vickie. I really wanted to make that Gyoza, but I swear I still feel like I’m catching up from my trip and the homemade version seemed a little daunting. Let me know when you make them. I’ve not heard that Beastie Boys song … heading to seek it out.
