Method
How to Make Crispy Chicken Parmesan Sliders
- Set up your breading station. In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Bread the chicken. Dip each chicken cutlet into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the oil. In a skillet, pour about 1/4 inch of oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken. Fry the breaded cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and slice the slider buns in half.
- Spread the marinara. On the bottom half of each slider bun, spread a spoonful of marinara sauce.
- Layer the chicken. Add a piece of crispy chicken cutlet on top of the marinara.
- Add more sauce and cheese. Spoon additional marinara over the chicken and sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
- Cap the sliders. Place the top half of slider buns over the cheese.
- Bake the sliders. Arrange on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Garnish and serve. Optionally garnish with fresh basil leaves.
- Enjoy your sliders! Serve warm.

Notes
To ensure the perfect crunch, slice chicken breasts evenly. Take your time with the breading for maximum flavor. Avoid overcrowding the skillet while frying.
