Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 12 slider buns

Instructions:

1. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
2. Form patties: Shape the chicken mixture into 12 small patties.
3. Cook the patties: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken patties until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
4. Simmer in sauce: Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken patties in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. Melt the cheese: Top each patty with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover the skillet for a few minutes until the cheese is melted and gooey.
6. Assemble the sliders: Place the chicken patties on slider buns and serve immediately.

Tips and Variations:

• Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce for a little heat.
• Extra flavor: Sauté some onions and garlic to add to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
• Make it crispy: For extra crispy patties, you can lightly bread them with panko breadcrumbs before cooking.
• Healthier option: Use ground turkey instead of chicken for a leaner option.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve your Chicken Parmesan Sliders with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard. They also pair well with a simple green salad or potato wedges.

Enjoy!
