This Chicken Parmesan Sliders recipe creates fun, mini sandwiches with lots of flavor! The chicken patties are cooked in the oven making them easy to prepare. Perfect for game day or parties, but also fun for a family dinner.
Homemade sliders are a must for game day or casual get-togethers. While they are small, they are actually quite filling and can be a sort of “main dish appetizer” for your party. These Chicken Parmesan Sliders take the flavors of the popular chicken parmesan main dish, but brings them into tiny sandwiches.
To make this Chicken Parmesan Sliders recipe, in a bowl you’ll mix up ground chicken with all the seasonings, marinara sauce, and shredded Parmesan cheese. It’s a fairly quick process as there’s no chopping needed – just measure and mix.
The ground chicken mixture is formed into small patties. To make sure they are all about the same size, scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture, which is about 2 ounces, to make each patty.
Place the patties go on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
The patties are baked in the oven, which helps to make this an easy recipe. In the middle of the cooking time, flip the patties over and continue cooking.
When the chicken patties are done baking, remove your pan from the oven and immediately top with mozzarella cheese. Return your baking pan of chicken patties back to the oven just long enough to melt the mozzarella.
To serve your Chicken Parmesan Sliders, place fresh spinach leaves on the bottom portion of a slider bun, top with the patty, and then a spoonful of marinara sauce. Finish off by topping with the top of the bun and enjoy!
