Ingredients

  • 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts cut in 1/2 to make 8 pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk low-fat
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar based hot sauce such as Tabasco
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup whole-wheat panko breadcrumbs pulsed in a food processor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 8 whole-wheat slider buns
  • 1 pickle large, sliced into 8 circles (one slice for each slider)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray; set aside.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and hot sauce. Place the flour in a second bowl, and the panko in a third bowl. Dip the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg mixture, and last the panko, making sure the chicken is coated on all sides.

  • Place each piece of cooked chicken onto a bun, top with pickles. Serve.
