Falafel Chicken Sliders recipe
Mayo: Crush the feta with the back of a fork then combine with the remaining ingredients and season, or for a smooth mayo place everything in a food processor
Chicken: Cut the chicken into 10-12 pieces. Place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound gently so the pieces are slightly bigger than the buns. Put the eggs and flour in separate shallow dishes and season with salt and pepper. Put the falafel mix in a third dish. Dust the chicken in the flour then in the eggs, letting the excess drip off. Coat well in the falafel mixture, pressing it on to adhere. Heat a little oil in a saute pan and cook the chicken until crisp and golden and fully cooked through. Drain on kitchen towels. To assemble: Spread the mayo thickly on the cut sides of the warm buns. Top with a slice of tomato, lettuce, avocado, chicken and the remaining buns. Serve immediately. By then, the Falafel Chicken Sliders is ready
PANTRY NOTE: Dried falafel mix is available at supermarkets, food stores and health food shops
