Equipment
- 1 Skillet for frying
- 1 Baking Sheet
- 1 wire rack for cooling
Ingredients
Chicken and Breading
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Assembly
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 8 slider buns
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
Optional
- Olive oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Assembly
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the slider buns and arrange them on a baking sheet. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
- Place a piece of crispy chicken on each bun, followed by mozzarella cheese. Cover with the top half of the bun. Brush the tops with garlic butter if desired.
Cooking
- Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving. Enjoy these sliders warm for the best experience.
Storage
- Store any leftover sliders in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
