Ladies Lunch

Last week we got together with our good friend to make lunch together. We wanted something easy but flavorful so we decided on chicken sliders, topped with asian slaw, Giada De Laurentiis' sweet potato fries and strawberry - lemon infused water. This was such a perfect meal for us to make together, so grab some friends and get cooking!

Ingredients for Infused Water:

6 whole strawberries halved 

1/2 lemon sliced

3 quarts of water

Ice

Start by making the infused water before you start cooking. In a large pitcher combine water, strawberries, lemon and ice. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. 

Ingredients for Chicken Sliders:
1 package of ground chicken
2 tbsp. chopped red pepper
1 tbsp. chopped red onion
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Salt and Pepper
Slider rolls

Ingredients for Asian Slaw:
1 package of cole slaw mix
1/4 cup Rice wine vinegar
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp.  and 1/2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp white sesame seeds
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
salt and pepper


Directions:
Start by preparing the slaw. In a bowl combine the slaw mix, with the vinegar, canola oil, sugar, sesame oil, sesame seeds and toss. Salt and pepper the slaw to taste and place it in the refrigerator. Toss once more before serving.

For the sliders, heat a grill pan over medium heat. In a large bowl combine the chicken, peppers, onions and garlic. Generously salt and pepper. Form mini patties. Spray the hot grill pan with cooking spray and grill the sliders on both sides, until fully cooked (8 - 10 minutes).
