Instructions
Steps to Prepare French Onion Chicken Sliders
- In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced sweet onions and cook them on medium-low for about 25-30 minutes until they become caramelized, stirring occasionally.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken with half of the beef base and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken in the skillet with the caramelized onions, mixing thoroughly.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking sheet. Lay the bottom slider buns on the sheet, spread the chicken and onion mixture generously on top, then sprinkle shredded Gruyere cheese over the mixture.
- In a small bowl, melt 6 tablespoons of butter and mix it with the remaining beef base and Worcestershire sauce. Brush this mixture over the slider tops, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, thyme, onion powder, and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Bake the sliders for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
