Place them in an airtight container. This helps to seal in the flavors. Make sure to refrigerate them within two hours of cooking. When reheating, I recommend using an oven for the best results. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sliders on a baking sheet and cover them with foil. Heat them for about 10-15 minutes. This keeps the bread soft and the cheese melty. Yes, you can freeze chicken parmesan sliders! This is a great way to save some for later. First, let the sliders cool completely. Wrap each slider in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible. To reheat, take them out and let them thaw in the fridge overnight. Then, bake them at 350°F (175°C) as mentioned earlier. Leftover sliders last about 3-4 days in the fridge. After this time, they may start to spoil. Signs of spoilage include a bad smell, mold, or a slimy texture. If you notice any of these signs, it is best to throw them away. Keeping track of these details helps you enjoy your delicious meal safely! How do I make sliders ahead of time? You can prepare the chicken patties in advance. Form them and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When ready, cook them as directed. You can also bake the sliders and keep them warm until serving. Can I use store-bought patties instead? Yes, you can use store-bought patties. Just ensure they are similar in size. Heat them as directed on the package. Then, layer with marinara and cheese as in the recipe. What is the calorie count per slider? Each slider has about 250 calories. This can vary based on the toppings and the size of the patty. Always check the specific ingredients you use for accuracy. Are there any healthier alternatives? Yes, you can use lean ground turkey instead of chicken. Whole grain slider rolls are a great swap too. You can also use less cheese or low-fat cheese for fewer calories. What kitchen tools do I need for this recipe? You will need a large bowl for mixing, a skillet for cooking, and a baking dish for the sliders. A spatula helps flip the patties with ease. Any specific baking dish recommendations? A 9x13 inch baking dish works great for this recipe. It fits all the sliders nicely and allows for even cooking. You can use glass or metal, depending on what you have.

1 lb ground chicken

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup marinara sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

12 slider rolls

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

      Form small patties from the chicken mixture, about the size of the slider rolls.

        Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and drizzle a little olive oil. Cook the chicken patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.

          Once cooked, transfer the patties to a baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over each patty, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

            Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.

              While the sliders are baking, cut the slider rolls in half.

                Assemble the sliders by placing a chicken patty on the bottom half of each roll, adding fresh basil leaves, and then placing the top half of the roll on top.

                  Optionally, drizzle a little olive oil on the assembled sliders for added flavor.
