Chicken sliders

Chicken sliders are a healthy change from those made with beef or pork.

Ask the butcher to grind skinless chicken breast to ensure leaner meat with less saturated fat.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

10 ounces ground chicken breast
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup minced onion
1 fresh chili pepper, minced
1 tablespoon fennel seed, crushed
4 whole-wheat mini buns
4 lettuce leaves
4 tomato slices

Directions

Mix first 7 items together and refrigerate for 1 hour. Form into 4 patties. Grill or broil in oven until a minimum internal temperature of 165 F is reached.

Serve on small whole-wheat buns with lettuce and tomato.
