Instructions
Creating Chicken Parmesan Sliders is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cut them into thin cutlets for quick cooking.
3. Make the Breading: In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
5. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
6. Cook Chicken: Add the coated chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Prepare Buns: While chicken cooks, slice the slider buns in half and place them on a baking sheet.
8. Add Marinara: Spoon a bit of marinara sauce onto the bottom half of each bun.
9. Layer Chicken and Cheese: Place the cooked chicken cutlets on top of the sauce, followed by another spoonful of marinara. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Finish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves if desired. Place the top half of the buns back on to complete the sliders.
By following these steps, you will create sliders that are ready to be devoured by family and friends.
