Grilled Chicken Sliders with Avocado
I made this grilled chicken sliders with avocado recipe from Pioneer Woman right after seeing it. I made the recipe healthier by opting for avocado instead of cheese and bacon, and they were tasty! These tasty sliders were a big hit with my family, and they paired nicely with homemade French fries and a white bean cucumber salad.Â
Grilled Chicken Sliders with Avocado
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp olive oil or cooking spray
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 8 Slider buns, toasted
- Mayonnaise
- Avocado, sliced
- Tomato, sliced
- Onion, thinly sliced
- Lettuce
How to Make Grilled Chicken Sliders with Avocado
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise (place your hand on the chicken breast, then carefully cut horizontally), then cut each portion in half.
Lay a piece of wax paper on top and pound them gently with a mallet until they are even in thickness.
Season each side with sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and garlic powder, to taste.
Coat a grill pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook for a few minutes until they are golden brown. Flip over and cook for 2 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove from the pan and set on a plate with a foil tent placed loosely on top.
Place the slider buns on the grill pan and let them toast for a few minutes, then remove from the pan and spread some mayonnaise on the bun halves.
Place a piece of chicken on the bottom bun, followed by avocado, tomato, onion, lettuce, and top bun. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Yum. I love this healthier version of sliders. Love that you add avocado in them for some creamy texture. 🙂
I love your lighter twist on this!
I love sliders and these are a nice change from the unhealthy ones I’ve been having. Avocado is a nice touch to this. Lovely post Pam.
Avocado is the best part as far as I am concerned but I would enjoy it all 🙂 Keep well Diane
Good morning Pam, Sounds like one delicious dinner! So healthy and tasty!!
The sliders look great! Avocado makes everything even better! 🙂
That’s so funny…I saw this recipe on PW’s site and have been craving them ever since, too! I love the changes you made to the recipe, but I think I will add the bacon when I make them! 😉
Mmmmmmmm… they look perfect!!!!
This looks like a must-try! So glad you are cooking again (and feeling better)!
I love that the chicken is left whole and ground chicken is not used so there are no fillers in burgers so these are just tasty little bites.
Yum, Pam! They look so good! Did you make those fries, too?
I am super obsessed with topping everything with avocado lately. Seriously, don’t you think it makes life so much better?
sliders are so fun! these look just delicious! i love the healthed up version!
So glad your husband loved yours as well as his. Maybe he was trying to tell you to make more the next time? Chicken sandwiches are wonderful, and little ones would be so much fun!
Sliders are the best and these look perfect for a spring picnic! Lovely, easy recipe Pam. The more avocado the better!
I think my family would love these! I am definitely going to make them soon. Thanks for the idea!
I love mayo on my fries.
I know sounds gross.
It’s funny how your mayo is called best foods and ours is hellmans
Sliders are always fun to eat! Any sandwich with avocado is my kind of food.
These sound super yummy, I love the avocado used to top this slider.
These look not only delicious, also very healthy, Pam.
Came across your site yesterday and saw the sliders. Made them for my family and they loved them! Thanks.
You had me at chicken and avacado. Seriously, such a fantastic combination. I saw a recipe for avacado chicken salad and since then have been craving both.
i’ve always been somewhat amused that we call these little things sliders. why? regardless, this batch looks tasty!
I love sliders because you can make each one a little different! These combine some of my favorite things.
Those look easy and great, Pam. I bet they disappeared.
I’ll have to try this.
These look so good!! Definitely making!
