Deliciously cheesy Chicken Parmesan Slider Melts featuring shredded chicken in marinara sauce topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, baked to bubbly perfection on soft slider buns. Perfect for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a hearty snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Slider Buns

  • 12 slider buns (Hawaiian rolls or similar)

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Topping

  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the marinara sauce until well mixed, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
  2. Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns horizontally. Spoon the chicken and marinara mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the buns. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken mixture. Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese layer.
  3. Prepare the Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful butter blend. Brush this mixture generously over the top buns to add flavor and promote browning during baking.
  4. Bake the Sliders: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled sliders on a baking tray and cover them with foil. Bake covered for 12 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese completely.
  5. Brown the Tops: Remove the foil and continue to bake the sliders uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops to turn golden and slightly crispy.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve immediately while warm and melty for the best taste and texture experience.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken as a convenient shortcut for shredded chicken.
  • Hawaiian rolls provide a slightly sweet contrast to the savory filling but regular slider buns work as well.
  • Covering the sliders during the initial baking stage ensures the cheese melts without drying out the buns.
  • Feel free to add fresh basil or oregano for extra herbaceous flavor.
  • Leftover sliders can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
