Chicken Parmesan Sliders with a Simple Salad 3.40/5 (5 votes)

These little sliders are a snap to throw together, incredibly juicy, and full of flavor. Now, I will tell you, they are really ‘loose’ and ‘soft’. When you flip them be gentle. Then pop them in the oven to finish cooking and let that mozzarella cheese get nice and bubbly. Serve with this simple salad with leftover vinaigrette.

Chicken Parmesan Sliders

SERVINGS : 4 PEOPLE PREP TIME : MINUTES

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 slider buns
  • 1 1/2 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce
    •

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cut rolls in half and broil for about 3 minutes (cut side up) to brown. Remove from oven and reserve.
  2. Combine chicken and 1 cup marinara. Form into 8 patties similar in shape to your rolls.
  3. Preheat oven to 375.
  4. Brown the patties for about 2-3 minutes on each side in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Be very careful when moving/flipping the patties – they are very soft and fall apart easily.
  5. Carefully transfer the patties to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for about 8 minutes. Add cheese each patty and let it melt – about 2 minutes. You may want to broil them if the cheese is not melting.
  6. Assemble your sliders: Place a basil leaf on the bottom half of each roll. Top with a chicken patty, 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, and the roll’s top.

    I added an egg and a little bit of panko crumbs since the recipe says they fall apart easily. I wish I had used more panko/breadcrumbs as it really does fall apart. This was pretty good, but I couldn’t tell what color the meat was with the sauce mixed in, so i kept thinking I had it under cooked as i was eating it.

    This was so delicious! I saw the above review that said it fell apart and added 2 eggs and a good little pile of panko and they stayed together beautifully. The kids loved it as well. And that salad dressing!! So good.
