PLAN/PURCHASE
THE FILLING
2 large farm fresh eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 c mayonnaise, plain variety
1/4 c flour, all-purpose variety

1 Tbsp creole seasoning (i prefer, tony chachere's), or to taste
salt, kosher variety, to taste
white pepper, freshly ground, to taste
THE CHICKEN

3 Tbsp grapeseed oil

Steps:

1. PREP/PREPARE
2. THE FILLING
3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
4. Add all the filling ingredients to a non-reactive bowl, and reserve.
5. Chef's Tip: Since Creole seasoning can be quite spicy, add any salt and pepper at the very last. You may find that it's seasoned well enough. I would also be careful with the Creole seasoning... maybe just add half, and then taste. The right combination of Creole seasoning, salt, and pepper will really help to bring out the flavors in this recipe. Have fun... experiment.
6. THE CHICKEN
7. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
8. Dice the chicken into small bits, about 1/2 inch (1.3cm).
9. Toss the chicken with the filling.
10. Cover and place into the refrigerator, for 2 or more hours.
11. Remove from the refrigerator, and give the ingredients a final toss.
12. Add the grapeseed oil to a sauté pan over medium heat.
13. Add the chicken mixture to the hot pan, in 2.5 ounce (70g) portions, and flatten into discs.
14. Chef's Note: Sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 - 5 minutes
15. Flip and continue to cook until browned, and cooked through, about 3 - 4 additional minutes.
16. THE ASSEMBLY
17. Split open a slider bun, and then add some Creole spread, or other sauce of your choosing.
18. PLATE/PRESENT
19. Serve casual style on a large plate with some chips or other sides. Enjoy.
20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CAJUN SLIDERS

Cajun Sliders image

I got this out of Shape Magazine and had to make sure I saved it to try it one day. I love sliders and this is a healthy variety. I don't eat beef so I use ground turkey and ground chicken. You may use 6 ounces of ground beef in place of the ground chicken or ground turkey.

Ingredients

cooking spray
6 ounces ground turkey
6 ounces ground chicken
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 red bell pepper, cut lengthwise into 8 strips
4 slices onions, round slices (from 1 small onion)
1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise
1 teaspoon fat-free mayonnaise
2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

Steps:

Preheat broiler. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine turkey, chicken (or beef), Ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and hot sauce. Form the mixture into four fat patties (each should be a little wider than the bun) and set aside.
Lightly coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Place patties in pan, cover and cook for 4 minutes, than flip and cook for 4 to 5 more minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F on a cooking thermometer.
In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and mustard, then spread on the inside of each bun. Put a patty on the bottom of each bun, top with an onion slice and 2 strips of bell pepper, and cover with bun tops. Serve immediately.
