Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Form patties: Shape the mixture into small slider-sized patties, making sure they are even in size for consistent cooking.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The patties should have a nice golden brown exterior.

- Serve: Serve the sliders immediately while hot and enjoy a healthy and delicious meal.
Notes
- To keep sliders moist, avoid overmixing the ground chicken mixture.
- Ensure the patties are cooked thoroughly to avoid any risk of foodborne illness.
- Breadcrumbs can be substituted with gluten-free alternatives if needed.
- Customize toppings based on your dietary preferences, such as using low-fat sauces or adding fresh veggies.
