Ingredients
- 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs Italian style for extra flavor
- 1 cup of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 slider buns
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in breadcrumbs until fully coated, ensuring they’re well-covered for that delightful crunch.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil and cook the breaded chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken breasts into smaller pieces that fit nicely on the slider buns.
- Assemble the Sliders: Place a slice of chicken onto the bottom half of each slider bun. Add a spoonful of marinara sauce on top, followed by a generous sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
- Bake the Sliders: Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and pop them into the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Once out of the oven, top with fresh basil leaves, and finally, place the top half of the buns on to complete your sliders.
- Serve and Enjoy! Serve your Chicken Parmesan Sliders warm and watch them disappear!
