Why You’ll Love These Sliders

Mini but mighty – You get all the classic flavors of chicken parm in a fun, handheld size.
Great for any occasion – Perfect for game nights, potlucks, or a kid-friendly dinner.
Customizable – Add fresh basil, extra cheese, or a little heat with red pepper flakes to make it your own.

Helpful Tips

Use crispy chicken – Breaded and fried (or baked) chicken cutlets give the best texture, but frozen chicken tenders work for a shortcut.
Don’t oversaturate with sauce – Too much marinara can make the buns soggy, so use just enough to coat the chicken.
Brush with garlic butter – Adding a mix of melted butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning on top of the buns enhances flavor and creates a golden, flavorful crust.

Ingredients

For the chicken:

1 pound chicken breasts cut into slider-sized pieces
1 cup breadcrumbs Italian seasoned or panko
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup marinara sauce
8 ounce ball fresh mozzarella cheese sliced

For the sliders:

12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls or your favorite type
6 slices provolone cheese
2 tablespoons butter melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat a little oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Slice the slider buns in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom connected. Place the bottom half of the buns in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place the provolone slices on the bottom buns, then add the cooked chicken pieces. Spoon marinara over the chicken, then add the mozzarella cheese slices on top.Place the top buns on.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the mixture over the top of the buns.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the buns are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice the sliders into individual portions and serve warm.
