Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 sliced medium tomato
- 8 pieces large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 sliced red onion
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each piece for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
Step 5
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the toppings by slicing the avocado into thin slices, and slicing the tomato and red onion as well.
Step 6
Assemble the sliders by placing a grilled chicken thigh onto each lettuce leaf. Top with slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Step 7
Fold or wrap the lettuce leaves around the chicken and toppings to form sliders. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious paleo-friendly meal!
