How to Serve Chicken Parmesan Sliders
These sliders are best served warm right after baking. You can pair them with a side salad, some crispy fries, or even some steamed vegetables to complete the meal. Adding extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping is also a great idea!
How to Store Chicken Parmesan Sliders
If you have leftovers, let the sliders cool down and then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 3-4 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave until heated through.
Tips to Make Chicken Parmesan Sliders
- Make sure the olive oil is hot before frying the chicken to get a nice golden crust.
- For extra flavor, you can add Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the breadcrumbs.
- If you want a spicier kick, try adding red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce.
Variation
If you want to mix things up, you can use different types of cheese such as provolone or cheddar. You could also use turkey or pork instead of chicken for a different meat option.
