Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 large avocado
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place chicken thighs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well-coated, cover, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Step 3
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato into thin rounds, slice the red onion into rings, and cut the avocado into thin slices. Chop the fresh cilantro finely.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once heated, grill the chicken thighs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Step 5
Once done, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Step 6
Assemble the sliders by placing grilled chicken pieces on large lettuce leaves. Top with slices of tomato, red onion, avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 7
Fold the lettuce leaves to enclose the fillings or serve them open-faced as lettuce cups. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, zesty flavors!
