Chicken Parm Sliders

Cook time: 40 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breasts sliced into slider-sized pieces
  • 0 salt to taste
  • 0 black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Italian seasoned or panko
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0 olive oil for frying
  • 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls work well for a slightly sweet contrast
  • 0.5 cup marinara sauce
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese or about 1 cup shredded
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley optional for garnish
  • 0 marinara sauce extra for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken slices with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the fried chicken pieces to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. Place a piece of fried chicken on each bun bottom. Spoon a tablespoon of marinara sauce over each chicken piece, then top each with a slice of mozzarella cheese. Place the top halves of the buns on top.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley. Brush the tops of the buns with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
  8. Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
