Lemon Herb Feta Chicken Sliders
A new season is right around the corner. June 21 marks the first day of summer and we are beyond ready to light up our grills! Grilling is a great way to add taste to summer dishes without adding extra fat. Using lean ground chicken in your Lemon Herb Feta Chicken Sliders also reduces fat content when compared to traditional beef sliders.
This recipe provides the handheld convenience of traditional sliders while enhancing the flavor profile with a Mediterranean twist. They also require little preparation. All you have to do is add all the ingredients into a bowl, shape your patties, and throw them on the grill. Lemon Herb Feta Chicken sliders are tasty and light. This recipe pairs perfectly with a refreshing drink and the ambiance of an outdoor seating area!
