If you’re a chicken Parm stan like me, get ready to fall in love with these bite-sized sliders! This mini version of the Italian-American classic is perfect as an appetizer, game-day snack, or a fun twist on dinner. I kept things super-easy and convenient by using frozen breaded chicken tenders, jarred marinara, and shredded mozzarella—all tucked into soft, fluffy slider buns. After being brushed with garlicky butter, they take a quick trip in the oven, where the cheese gets perfectly melty and the buns become nice and crispy.
If you want to mix things up or use what you already have on hand, here are some suggestions: Swap Pecorino for Parmesan for a classic taste, or try breaded plant-based nuggets for a vegetarian twist. You can also switch out the mozzarella for provolone or a shredded Italian blend to explore different flavor profiles.
Leftover sliders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For reheating, I recommend warming them in a 350° oven, loosely covered with foil, until heated through and the cheese is melty. If you’re in a pinch, you can reheat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals until warmed, but keep in mind that the buns may become a bit softer.
