It’s Game time season and that means delicious food and fun times with friends and family. As I get our menu together to see some football, I keep in mind small bites and bold flavors. This week I had the family try out a possible new favorite, Blackened Chicken Sliders. While I wish I could say this was all my idea it truly isn’t. This is just one of the delicious recipes by Frito Lay.

Blackened Chicken Sliders for Your Game Time Menu
What I loved about making these sliders were just how simple the ingredients were and what great flavors they brought in a small bite. From Blackening Seasoning to Tabasco with mayo to fresh cut peppers and onion, this recipe is a winner with little prep time for more fun with game time!
- 5 4.8ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/8 cup blackening spice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Hawaiian rolls / slider buns
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco® Sauce
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Brush the chicken breasts with the oil, season with salt and pepper and dust both sides of the chicken breast with the blackening spice
- Cook the chicken on the grill for 5 to 6 minutes each side to ensure the chicken is properly cooked.
- While the chicken is cooking on the grill, heat a medium sauté pan with 1 tablespoon of canola oil over medium heat to make the garnish.
- Slice the bell peppers and yellow onions.
- In a medium sauté pan over medium heat, sauté the peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Reserve the mixture to the side in the pan so the mixture stays warm.
- In a small mixing bowl, add all ingredients and mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes.
- Lightly butter 4 buns and toast the buns on the grill.
- Once toasted, place the blackened chicken on the bottom bun, top each chicken breast evenly with the onion/bell pepper mixture.
- Follow with the Tabasco® Mayo and the top bun.
- Serve immediately with LAY’S® Classic Potato Chips.
- Use half the amount of the blackening seasoning to season your chicken breasts for a less spicier chicken flavor.
- Toasting buns/rolls is optional
Once you’ve gathered you’re ingredients, Follow directions to season your chicken and cut up all your veggies.
Grill your chicken until fully cooked. I went ahead and grilled it indoors and sprayed our grill with nonstick even though the chicken breasts were seasoned using oil. I also didn’t flip them over until I saw them fully cooked on the sides. Sauté your onions and peppers as directed with a little oil. Don’t forget to salt and pepper for taste!
Assemble as directed or allow your guest to assemble their own sliders with a great table spread. With the bold spicy flavors of our chicken, we assembled them on a sweet hawaiian roll. Serve these with Lay’s Classic potato chips and you are set! Be prepared for your guest to ask for more because these will be a game time hit!
