Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 cooking thermometer
  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 tongs
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs Beaten.
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 8 slider buns slider buns
  • None Fresh basil leaves Optional, for garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
  • In a shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Set up a dredging station with one bowl of flour, another bowl of beaten eggs, and the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Cook the coated chicken pieces for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken pieces to the prepared baking sheet, spoon marinara sauce over each piece, and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Lightly toast the slider buns in the oven for the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Assemble the sliders by placing a piece of chicken on the bottom half of each toasted bun, adding more marinara sauce if desired, and topping with fresh basil leaves. Cover with the top half of the bun.

Notes

You can substitute the chicken with eggplant for a vegetarian option.
Feel free to add other toppings like roasted red peppers or sautéed spinach for extra flavor.
These sliders are great served with a side of salad or pasta for a complete meal.
