Why This Recipe Works
Sliders are quick and easy to make. To make this recipe even easier, you could use store-bought chicken patties or tenders.
This recipe combines the flavor of classic chicken parmigiana and sweet, Hawaiian rolls for mouth-watering taste.
These sliders can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner or as a snack. They are perfect for parties and celebrations, as well.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Ingredients
- 1 pound thin sliced chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour: you may need slightly more or less. I spoon out about 1 cup, but only typically use around 1/2 cup.
- 1 egg
- 1 cup Italian style seasoned bread crumbs
- oil for frying
- 1 12-count package King’s Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls: you can use any slider rolls you like, if you can’t find these or prefer something else.
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese (thinly sliced): I use fresh mozzarella cheese for this recipe which you can often find already sliced near the deli section in most grocery stores.
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
The entire recipe and instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. You can print the recipe from the card, if needed.
Prep!
Slice the mozzarella and shred the Parmesan cheese, if needed. Parmesan cheese is one of few cheeses that I will buy already shredded.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Create!
Place the flour in a shallow dish or bowl, whisk the eggs into a second bowl, and add the bread crumbs to a third shallow dish or bowl.
Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels.
Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip into the egg, let the excess drip off and place in the bread crumbs to fully coat both sides. Place the breaded chicken cutlets on a plate.
Heat oil in a large, deep skillet on medium until hot and glistening. You need just enough oil to cover the very bottom of the skillet.
Once the oil is hot, add the cutlets. Cook 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flip and cook an additional 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Transfer the chicken tenders to a paper-towel lined plate.
Cut the tops off of the King’s Hawaiian Rolls. You can usually do this while they are all still connected. Place in a large casserole dish.
Layer the chicken cutlets evenly onto the rolls. You may need to cut some to fit them better.
Spoon the marinara sauce over the cutlets.
Top with slices of mozzarella cheese and sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese.
Place the tops of the buns back on.
Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder and parsley. Brush over the tops of the rolls.
Cover the casserole with a lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes then remove the cover and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese is melted.
Present!
Cut and serve.
