Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper

- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 8 lettuce leaves
- 1 cup, shredded napa cabbage
- 1 cup, julienned carrots
- 0.5 cup, chopped green onions
- 2 avocado
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 4
While the chicken is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by combining hot sauce and coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat until the coconut oil melts and blends with the hot sauce.
Step 5
Once the chicken is cooked, shred it using two forks or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
Step 6
Pour the buffalo sauce over the shredded chicken and mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
Step 7
Prepare the avocado mash by mashing the avocados in a bowl and mixing them with lime juice.
Step 8
Build the sliders by placing a small amount of napa cabbage, julienned carrots, and chopped green onions inside each lettuce leaf.
Step 9
Top the vegetables with a portion of the buffalo chicken and a dollop of avocado mash.
Step 10
Fold the lettuce leaf around the fillings to form a small wrap or serve open-faced as sliders.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Buffalo Chicken Sliders!
