Chicken Parmesan Sliders
Chicken Parmesan Sliders are the perfect crowd-pleasing appetizer, featuring mini breaded chicken, melted mozzarella, and zesty marinara all nestled in soft slider buns.
Ingredients
- 12 soft slider buns dinner rolls or Hawaiian rolls
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to ½" thickness
- ¾ cup panko bread crumbs or Italian-style bread crumbs
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning or 2 tsp chopped fresh basil
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cups marinara sauce store-bought or homemade; look for a chunky variety
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella sliced into ½" pieces
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil for brushing
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently so coating sticks. Bake chicken for 12–15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Split slider buns, spread marinara on bottom halves, top with chicken, mozzarella, more marinara, and bun tops. Brush with melted butter.
- Bake assembled sliders for 5–7 minutes until cheese melts and buns are golden. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the marinara. To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free buns and panko.
