- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Sliders:

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Patties
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into small patties about 2 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Cook the Patties
- Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. During the last minute of cooking, add cheese slices to melt over the patties.
Step 3: Assemble the Sliders
- Toast the slider buns lightly on the grill or in the oven for added texture.
- Spread your preferred condiments on the buns. Place a chicken patty on the bottom bun, followed by fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Notes
Baking Option: If you prefer baking over grilling or frying, bake the patties in a 375°F oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
