Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns
- 3 cups marinara sauce
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast piece in flour, dip in eggs, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Slice fried chicken breasts to fit slider buns.
- Place bottom halves of slider buns in a baking dish and spread a layer of marinara sauce.
- Add a slice of chicken, a spoonful of marinara, and a generous sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on each slider.
- Cover with top halves of buns, then drizzle remaining marinara and sprinkle with mozzarella over the tops.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
For an extra kick, add sliced pepperoncini peppers or a dash of red pepper flakes before baking. These sliders pair wonderfully with a crisp green salad or sweet potato fries.
