Asian Chicken Sliders Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by baking seasoned chicken breasts until cooked through, then shredding the meat. The shredded chicken is simmered in a sauce made from soy sauce, water, cornstarch, brown sugar, lime, garlic powder, and optionally sambal oelek, producing a thick, flavorful coating. The colorful rainbow slaw includes shredded white and purple cabbage, carrots, and julienned cucumber, dressed with rice vinegar, water, honey, and salt, offering a crisp and lightly sweet contrast. Assembling the sliders involves layering the chicken and slaw inside slider buns. These sliders combine tender chicken with a fresh, tangy crunch, convenient for immediate serving.
Ingredients
Shredded Chicken:
- 1 Whole chicken breast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Asian Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 lime
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp sambal oelek Optional
Rainbow Slaw:
- 2 cups white cabbage shredded
- 1 cup purple cabbage shredded
- 1 cup carrot shredded
- 1/2 English cucumber Julienned
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 package slider buns Pepperidge Farm brand
Instructions
- Turn on the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with non stick spray.
- Brush olive oil on both sides of the chicken breasts and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
- Once the oven is hot, bake the chicken breasts in the oven for 25 minutes until they're fully cooked.
- Once the chicken breasts are cool enough to touch, shred them using two forks and transfer them to a large pan.
- Mix all the Asian sauce ingredients and pour it over the shredded chicken. Place the pan over medium heat and stir occasionally until the sauce is a bit thickened and the chicken is flavored.
- To make the slaw, mix white and purple cabbage, carrots and cucumber is a large bowl and set aside.
- Mix water, rice vinegar, honey and salt in a small bowl and pour it on the slaw, mix it gently.
- Open up Pepperidge Farm Slider Buns and place some chicken on each bottom part, top with slaw and then put the top part of the bun.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken as a shortcut to avoid baking chicken breasts.
- A stand mixer with a paddle attachment can speed up shredding chicken for large batches.
- Store chicken and slaw separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- If rice vinegar is unavailable, substitute with white vinegar but reduce its amount and adjust with water, as white vinegar is stronger in flavor.
- Store-bought slaw can be used as a time-saving alternative to the homemade version.
