Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken
  • Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thin, even fillets. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  • Rub the seasoning blend generously onto both sides of the chicken fillets.
  • Cook the Chicken
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the chicken fillets and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is blackened and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
  • Make the Alabama White Sauce
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, horseradish, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Assemble the Sliders
  • Toast the slider buns lightly, if desired.
  • Spread a generous layer of Alabama white sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
  • Place a piece of blackened chicken on each bun, then top with lettuce and pickle slices, if using. Add more sauce to the top bun, then assemble the slider.
