how to make Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Make the chicken, build the sliders, then bake until the cheese melts. Keep steps short and clear. Use small rolls so each slider is a single bite or two.

Ingredients :

• 12 small slider buns or dinner rolls
• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb), cut into 6 thin pieces
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 8 slices mozzarella (or 1 cup shredded)
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying) or cooking spray
• 2 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing tops)
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions :

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Pound chicken pieces thin so they cook fast.
3. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in one bowl.
4. Put beaten eggs in another shallow bowl.
5. Dip each chicken piece in egg, then in the breadcrumb mix. Press to coat.
6. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Or bake pieces on a sheet at 400°F for 12–15 minutes.
7. Slice slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish.
8. Spoon a little marinara on each bottom bun.
9. Put a cooked chicken piece on each bun, then a slice of mozzarella.
10. Add more marinara on top if you like.
11. Place the top buns on. Brush tops with melted butter if desired.
12. Cover with foil and bake 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and sliders are warm.
13. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley. Serve warm.

how to serve Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Serve on a tray for parties or with a side salad for a meal. Offer extra marinara for dipping. These work well with simple sides like fries or roasted vegetables.

how to store Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Cool sliders to room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 10–12 minutes or until warm. For longer storage, freeze assembled sliders (without baking) in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge before baking.

tips to make Chicken Parmesan Sliders

• Pound chicken thin for fast, even cooking.
• Use fresh breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch.
• Do not overfill with sauce or buns may get soggy.
• If you bake chicken instead of frying, brush with a little oil for color.
• Warm the marinara so sliders heat evenly when baked.

variation (if any)

• Make spicy sliders: add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mix.
• Make a lighter version: use grilled chicken and low-fat cheese.
• Make BBQ chicken sliders: swap marinara for BBQ sauce and use cheddar cheese.
