Honestly though, these are easy enough for even a weeknight dinner, paired with a salad or even better with my favorite side of Crispy Parmesan Onion Rings.
Tips for making chicken sliders!
- Use an ice cream scoop to measure the perfect size patty. Chicken doesn't shrink like ground beef does, so whatever size you form, is pretty much what they'll be.
- Top the sliders with whatever cheese you like really.
- Smoked paprika is what I always use. I like that smokey flavor it adds. But you can use regular paprika.
- I always grill these sliders, but You could fry them up in a skillet also.

The jalapeno adds the perfect amount of heat, then the cheesy goodness of the jack cheese. Ohh and let's not forget the creamy guacamole to top things off.
