  • 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies filling removed: This unique ingredient brings an unexpected sweet crunch that balances the savory elements in the sliders. Ensure they are finely crushed for the best texture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: A classic choice that melts beautifully adding creaminess and enhancing the flavor of the chicken. You can use sharp cheddar for a more robust flavor or opt for a mild variety.
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing: This dressing introduces a herby tangy element that pairs perfectly with the chicken and Oreos, enhancing the overall flavor.
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs: Essential for adding texture these breadcrumbs create a crispy exterior on the patties while keeping the insides moist.
  • 1/4 cup green onions finely chopped: These add freshness and vibrant color to the dish, enriching the flavor profile.

Method
 

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 lb ground chicken, 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup ranch dressing, 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to blend everything until evenly combined.
  2. Form the Patties: Once mixed, portion the mixture into four equal parts and shape each into a patty. Aim for a thickness of about 1 inch for even cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken Patties: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, place the hamburger buns in the skillet for 1-2 minutes or until lightly browned and warm.
  5. Assemble the Sliders: Once cooked, place each chicken patty on the bottom bun. Top with lettuce, a slice of tomato, and pickles. Close the slider with the top bun.
  6. Serve: Serve the sliders hot, perhaps alongside crispy fries or a fresh salad to complement the meal.
