Do you ever feel like you just marinate in the middle?
Not in a full-on dysfunctional-family-TV-series -“Malcolm-in-the-Middle”-middle, but more of a, I-guess-I’ll-settle-type of middle. Clearly, I can’t say ‘middle’enough. Oh, wait, middle. Sorry, this post should have come with a warning sticker.
Maybe I’m preconditioned to marinate in the middle? Being the second child and only girl in my immediate family left me always comparing and evaluating both sides of the equation. Maybe I should have been a math teacher? ERRRR, no. Sometimes I have to add using my fingers. Don’t say you don’t.
Anyways, the other day I was pushing my shopping cart through the grocery store, reading my list out loud to myself (jala-peeen-yos, check!) when I approached the poultry section. Hmmmmm….what kind of chicken do I want? So many choices. The poultry section always reminds of the scene in the movie Tommy Boy, when Chris Farley says, “What are we having tonight? Chicken or chicken?” After awhile, all chicken starts to look and taste the same. Am I right?
So, I found myself in a thick ol’ marinating middle mess. I began bantering in my head. Do I mix things up and go for a juicy, meaty steak? OH fart, it’s only Tuesday. What about turkey? Meh. Or, do I really break out of my carnivore reverie and whip up some tofu? Did you just say tofu? I don’t even know who you are anymore. After about 14 minutes of litigation in my head, I was back to the chick section.
As much as I hate being stuck in the middle, sometimes it can be a very delicious surprise. I ended up picking up a package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs and challenging myself to make something different. Ever since my brother whipped up fried chicken at the lake this summer, I have been craving it constantly.
Well, since we don’t live in a land of sunshine and lollipops where we can eat fried chicken every day and not gain a single L-B, these baked curry chicken sliders are the perfect compromise. Top them with a little spiced greek yogurt and you may just want to marinate in your middle bean bag and stay awhile.
Elevate your dining moments with the exquisite fusion of baked curry chicken sliders and spiced Greek yogurt. A symphony of tastes that lingers, leaving you with a culinary memory to savor.
Hey Gurl Hey!! These are right up my alley..
I’ll send some right over! Thanks, Erika!
Well Happy Wednesday to you too! Dear God this looks good!
Thanks, Liz! Curry and chicken are the perfect way to get over this hump!
Holy YUM! These make Wednesdays just that much better!
Ha! So true. Thanks, Jamie!
Curry baked chicken sliders?!?! Yes,yes, yes!! Love these!
Thanks, Tieghan! I need to use curry more often:)
Ha! Middle isn’t so bad you know. Always comparing on either side perhaps but many middle children I know are some of the most balanced too. I wouldn’t know though as I’m the youngest and have always been a bit of a hellion…
These look darn good, btw- nice call on the thighs!
Ha! I think that is why we would get along perfectly! We would balance each other out! Thanks, Kelley!
Happy to have a few of these little guys knowing I’m not gonna gain any L-Bs 🙂 YUM!
Ha! Me too! Stay away L-B’s!!
These look delicious! Coming to a dinner plate near us soon I think, thanks for another great recipe! 😀
You are most welcome! Thanks, Annie!
Tofu is actually more the norm at our house than chicken! 🙂 HOWEVER. I could really use one or two of these guys right about now. I love how they’re clearly full of complex flavor, but are super simple to make!
Eileen, if you have some great tofu recipes send them my way! I’m always looking to mix things up:)
Oh man these look way better than my plain turkey sandwich that I just devoured for lunch.
They were quite tasty! I’ll send ya some:)
I know what I’m having for dinner tonight!
Get it, gurrrrl!
Now that’s a beautiful slider, girlfriend! Holy yum!!
Thanks, Jeanne!! #highfive #imissyou
My god! I want a big stack of these sliders in front of me right now. What an awesome recipe, Lauren!
Thanks, Georgia! It’s definitely a new fav!
This is not your average chicken dinner! It looks beyond amazing!!
Thanks, Julie! Curry is where it’s at, yo!
The curry chicken sounds so amazing – I love the crisp panko coating! And those tomatoes are seriously gorgeous. I don’t know how I’m going to survive when summer tomatoes are gone…
I totally feel ya! I wish we could have summer produce all year long…the waistline would thank me:)
I remember my mom having similar chicken problems when I was a kid. But she was never this inventive. Love that you added curry into the mix!
Marination in the middle is where I live, sister…it is where I live! Looks like marinating in the middle works out for you…every damn time…cause your food’s flipping amazing. And these sliders…they speak straight to my soul…like a George Strait song…errr something like that. 😉
What a perfect idea for chicken thighs! Such a great combination of flavors!
Used to make a chicken curry casserole.. yes i am a girl of the 50’s .. when the boys were home and loved that it.. at the time.. was different… This is fantastic.. P.S. when are you going to move in with us ..?? You be the cook, i will do the laundry.. and you can have all the flex time you need!! Love. M in L
These sound so incredible! What a great twist!
