Chicken Parmesan Sliders Recipe 445

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare chicken tenders according to package directions. Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut horizontally in half; arrange roll bottoms in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place half of cheese slices over roll bottoms. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes., Layer rolls with half of sauce, chicken tenders, remaining sauce and remaining cheese slices. Replace top halves of rolls. , For topping, microwave butter, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, covered, on high, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Pour over rolls; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and heated through, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with basil before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Split the slider rolls in half. Place the bottoms cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and the tops cut-side down. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened but not colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush the garlic butter on the cut sides of the bottom rolls and the tops of the top rolls. Sprinkle all with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the edges are golden and the cheese is crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 6 thinner cutlets, then cut each cutlet in half crosswise to make 12 bun-size pieces of chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl and spread the breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour, then in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a few breadcrumbs; when the oil sizzles, it's ready. Cook the chicken in batches, until the coating is crisp and browned and the chicken is just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a wire rack in a baking sheet.
• Remove the bun tops from the baking sheet. Spoon half of the marinara in the indent of each bun bottom and top with a piece of chicken. Top with the remaining marinara and the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add a basil leaf or two to each slider before topping with the buns. Serve immediately.
