Sliders are always a favorite at parties and are perfect game day food because everybody loves a bite-size sandwich! Plus, chicken parmesan sliders are easy to prepare, especially if you use pre-cooked breaded chicken tenders or chicken strips from the store. And the smell of the garlic and butter and marinara just makes your house smell so cozy and inviting! Honestly, who doesn’t love a classic chicken parm? All those robust, savory flavors of tomato sauce and melted cheese over tender breaded chicken? What’s not to love?! It’s Italian-American comfort food at its best. The most time consuming part of making chicken parmesan sliders is the chicken itself. You can make homemade crispy chicken tenders yourself by either frying them in oil or baking them in the oven or just buy breaded chicken tenders from your local deli at the store. Or even get the kind in the freezer aisle and follow the package directions to heat them through before assembling these sliders. Normally I’m not one to advocate for buying products like this from the freezer section at the store since I like to make most things from scratch, but when it comes to party planning and party food, I have a rule that simpler almost always equals better, or at least less stressful, so I will often make an exception. Last Halloween for our annual party we made multiple batches of different kinds of sliders and a similar batch of marinara and meatball sliders were one of the first things to go. It’s hard to say which I like better – the chicken parm or meatball version – but really the only difference is swapping out the breaded chicken tenders for cooked Italian meatballs. Either way these are definitely a winner!
How to Make Chicken Parmesan Sliders
Just slice a bag of King’s Hawaiian Sweet Dinner Rolls in half horizontally without separating the rolls so you just have one large top and bottom section to work with. Then arrange the fully cooked breaded chicken tenders on top, spoon a little marinara over them, and sprinkle with a generous helping of shredded mozzarella cheese before placing the remaining top section of rolls on top. A quick and easy garlicky herby parmesan butter sauce gets brushed over the tops of the rolls, then they get covered in foil and baked for about 20 minutes until hot all the way through, removing the foil halfway through so the tops of the buns have a chance to get nice and brown. Slice apart the sliders and serve them up hot for your hungry crowd! Depending on how many people are coming for the party, you can make a double batch of these or choose another slider option so that guests have a couple to choose from!
