Greek Chicken Sliders with Tzatziki Sauce

Last Thursday was sizzling with Garden Chef Christina Curry for Cocktails in the Garden.  Fresh garden mint was used to add a refreshing taste to tzatziki sauce served over grilled chicken sliders.

A tip for tzatziki is to remove the seeds from the cucumber before adding it to the sauce.  You could also replace part of the Greek yogurt with sour cream or feta cheese.

On a rainy day you could sauté the sliders instead of grilling them.  All white meat chicken sliders would work too; just add a little more Worcestershire and cheese for moisture.  Give this one a try and let us know how it turned out.  Enjoy!
