Grilled Chicken Sliders With Apricot Chutney Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle chicken with pepper mixture.
• Place a large grill pan over medium high heat, and coat with cooking spray.
• Add chicken to pan, cook 5 minutes on each side or until done.
• Cool slightly, and shred meat.
• Recoat pan with cooking spray, and place apricots cut side down on pan, and cook 6 minutes on medium-high heat or until tender and lightly browned, turning after 4 minutes.
• Place apricots and add water, cider vinegar, mustard, and garlic cloves in a food processor, and process until smooth.
• Spread 1/2 teaspoon apricot chutney over cut side of each sandwich bun half.
• Place 1/3 cup chicken on bottom bun, and cover with other half of bun.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F. Bake the chicken: Toss the chicken with the grapeseed oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a medium bowl, coating well. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the chutney: Combine the tomatoes, red onion, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
• Fry the chicken: Heat 3 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl, then add the chicken and toss to coat. Fry the chicken until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Let cool slightly, then cut each thigh in half.
• Assemble the sliders: Spread a thin layer of butter on the cut sides of the rolls. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the rolls, buttered-side down, in the pan and toast until golden, about 2 minutes. Spread with mayonnaise and sandwich with the chicken and chutney.

Steps:

• For the chicken and marinade: Mix up the oil, Worcestershire sauce, chile powder, garlic, lemon juice, onions and some salt and pepper in a bowl and pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag and marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 4.
• Twenty minutes before cooking, fire up the grill.
• For the sandwich bar fixins: Set out separate plates or bowls of the honey mustard, pico de gallo, crumbled bacon, tomatoes and red onions.
• Grill the breasts for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then turn. Lay half a slice of cheese on each breast and grill until cooked through, a further 2 to 3 minutes.
• Serve the chicken with rolls and fixins and let everyone build their own sliders.

Steps:

• Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Heat a large skillet or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil, a turn of the pan. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and brown well. Remove to plate and repeat for the remaining chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, when it foams add the cumin and stir a few seconds. Then add the ginger, garlic, chiles and stir another 1 to 2 minutes. Puree the stock and chutney together in a blender or food processor. Then add the chutney mixture to the pan and combine with the tomatoes. Slide the chicken back in and turn to coat. Reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes more. Cool and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, reheat the chutney chicken on the stovetop over medium heat. Toast the coconut until golden brown and fragrant. Cook the rice to tender, according to package directions. Fluff the rice and add the coconut, almonds, lime juice and some salt and pepper. Serve shallow bowls of rice topped with the chutney chicken and garnish with scallions and cilantro.
