Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉. Spray a 9x12 baking sheet or dish with non-stick cooking spray. Get a cooling rack ready to go. Pop baking sheet in the oven to warm, about 4-5 minutes.
Cut chicken into small pieces. You want two pieces per slider.
1 ½ pounds chicken breast or tenders
Add flour, salt, and garlic powder to a large ziplock bag. Shake to combine.
½ cup flour, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Add egg and water to another shallow bowl, whisk to combine.
2 eggs, 1 tablespoon water
Mix breadcrumbs and ½ cup parmesan cheese to another shallow bowl or plate. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Add chicken to the plastic bag with the flour. Shake to coat chicken. Working in batches, use tongs to transfer the chicken to the egg mixture. Make sure to shake any excess flour off the chicken before adding it to the egg. Coat the chicken in the egg and let any excess drip off. Transfer chicken to the breadcrumbs and coat.
Transfer the coated chicken to the cooling rack while you bread the remaining chicken.
Once the chicken has been breaded, heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of the butter and 1 ½ tablespoons of the olive oil to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add half of the chicken pieces. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, flip and repeat on the other side. Transfer chicken to the toasted buns, you want two pieces of chicken per slider. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Top each slider with a tablespoon of marinara. Cover with cheese. Cover with top bun.
½ cup marinara sauce, 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Melt remaining tablespoons of butter. Brush tops of buns with butter. Sprinkle with a little bit of Italian seasoning and parmesan cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese has melted and buns are toasted.
