These chipotle chicken sliders are my go-to easy dinner when I want something fun but still high-protein. The chicken mixture is heavily seasoned so it stays juicy and actually tastes like something, and the creamy chipotle aioli is the star of the show, giving you that restaurant-y heat without drowning the sliders in sauce. I’ve tested a lot of slider ideas, and this chicken slider recipe is the best option because it’s fast, hard to mess up, and uses simple ingredients you can find anywhere, plus it works on the grill or a baking sheet if you’re staying inside.

Mix up the chicken mixture. Add the ground turkey to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the seasonings and mix with a fork until fully combined.
Shape the patties. Shape into 6 patties and place on a baking sheet or plate.
Make the chipotle aioli in a food processor by adding yogurt, mayo and chipotle chilis and pulsing until smooth. (You can also do this in a small bowl with a fork if you mince the chipotle peppers super well.)
Preheat the grill to 350°F. Grill patties about 3 minutes per side, until the internal temp reaches 165°F.
Add cheese. Tear the pepper jack into pieces and place on top to melt for 1–2 minutes.
Add toppings. Spread aioli on to the top half of the rolls and guac on the bottom half of the buns, add patties, and top with lettuce and jalapeño slices if desired.
