Instructions
Creating these Chicken Parmesan Sliders is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano.
3. Pound the Chicken: To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken to about ½ inch thick.
4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece in breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, coating it evenly.
5. Fry the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Bake the Chicken: Once fried, transfer the chicken to a baking dish and spoon marinara sauce over each piece. Top with shredded mozzarella.
7. Melt the Cheese: Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Slice the Rolls: While the chicken is baking, slice your slider rolls in half horizontally.
9. Assemble the Sliders: Place a piece of chicken on the bottom half of each roll. If desired, add extra marinara sauce and a basil leaf for garnish. Top with the other half of the roll.
10. Serve Immediately: Arrange the sliders on a plate and enjoy while hot.
