I am a lover of citrus when it comes to my protein.. I also love when there is a nice amount of cream, different textures...all parts are there. This slider certainly fit the bill! I suggest definitely buying shredded cabbage unless you have the time to do it yourself (every minute is precious, use the bagged) There is a lot of cutting in this recipe otherwise. A combo of citrusy ranch slaw and cumin-rubbed chicken...so yummy!
Ingredients:
1-2 limes
1 cup light ranch salad dressing
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp salt
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (8 oz)
1 1/2 cups packaged shredded carrots
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
3 scallions, tinly sliced
1 1/2 lbs. thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 12 (2 1/2" wide) pieces
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
12 slider or dinner rolls, split
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
Directions:
Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking. Grate 2 tsp. zest and squeeze 1 Tbs. juice from lines into medium bowl; stir in ranch dressing and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Transfer 1/4 cup dressing mixture to large bowl; stir in 1/4 tsp salt, then cabbage, carrots, cilantro and scallions until coated. Reserve remaining dressing.
In bowl, gently toss chicken with oil, cumin and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Grill chicken, turning once, until no longer pink in centers, 3-4 min. per side.
Divide reserved cabbage mixture evenly among roll bottoms. Top with chicke, then remaining dressing mixture, jalapeno pepper slices and roll tops.
