Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 12 thin cutlets
• 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp Dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 tbsp Milk
• 12 Slider buns split
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 6 oz Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Equipment

• Air Fryer
• Shallow Dishes
• Baking Sheet

Method

 

• If your chicken breasts are not already thin, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness. Then cut each breast into roughly 3 cutlets. You should have about 12 total.
• In a shallow dish, combine the Italian breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
• Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Place breaded chicken on a plate or baking sheet.
• Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush or spray the air fryer basket with olive oil.
• Place the breaded chicken cutlets in a single layer in the air fryer basket, being careful not to overcrowd. You may need to cook in batches.
• Air fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the slider buns if desired.
• Spread marinara sauce on the bottom halves of the slider buns.
• Top each bun with a crispy chicken cutlet.
• Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
• Place the assembled sliders on a baking sheet and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
• Place the top halves of the slider buns on the sliders and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary. You can also bake these sliders in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

How I Make Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Alright, let’s get started on making these amazing Chicken Parmesan Sliders! First, I prepare the chicken by coating it in seasoned Italian breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese after dipping it in a mixture of eggs and milk. I ensure each piece is fully coated to get that perfect crispy texture.

Then, I air fry the chicken until it’s golden brown and cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, I lightly toast the slider buns and get the marinara sauce ready. Once the chicken is done, I assemble the sliders by placing a piece of chicken on each bun, topping it with marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Finally, I pop the sliders back into the air fryer for a minute or two until the cheese is melted and bubbly. These steps will leave you with flavorful sliders! For another delicious chicken recipe, check out https://yummyget.com/lemon-pepper-chicken/.

My Tips for the Perfect Outcome

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer! Cook the chicken in batches to ensure it gets crispy all around.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
• Toast the slider buns for a few minutes before assembling to prevent them from getting soggy.
• Feel free to customize the toppings! Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or a dollop of pesto for extra flavor.

How I Serve and Store This Dish

I love serving these Chicken Parmesan Sliders as a fun appetizer for parties or as a quick and easy weeknight meal. They’re always a crowd-pleaser, no matter the occasion! For storing leftovers, I let the sliders cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, I recommend using the air fryer again to help the buns crisp up and the cheese melt perfectly.
