Easy Chicken Parmesan Sliders Recipe

With spring and summer entertaining seasoning heading our way, chicken sliders are always a simple and tasty option for feeding a crowd. These Chicken Parmesan Sliders come together easily with tender shredded chicken, tomatoes and parmesan cheese.

They’re hot, gooey and are just perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken. Or you can also cook chicken breasts on the grill or in your slow cooker and shred them — so easy! Plus, you can easily make them gluten-free, low carb, keto or dairy-free with just a few simple substitutes.

My family loves bite-sized sandwiches since they’re super versatile! Great for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or as an after-school snack but would also make a great addition to summer parties, potlucks, and get-togethers.

And if you’re looking for more sandwich recipes, these Ham and Cheese Sliders, BBQ Chicken Sliders or these Buffalo Chicken Sliders  are always a big hit on game days and disappear so quickly.are always a big hit on game days and disappear so quickly.

Ingredients you need

Making baked chicken sliders sliders could not be more simple. All you need are just a few ingredients that you most likely already have in your fridge or kitchen pantry. This recipe is super easy to customize with swaps for gluten-free, low carb, keto or dairy-free.

• Soft dinner rolls: Soft King’s Hawaiian rolls are always a hit with my guests that have no dietary issues. To make Keto Chicken Parmesan Sliders, we will use these gluten-free, paleo, grain-free keto rolls from Unbun or these Carb Wise rolls from Slice of Life. Another gluten-free sweet roll option (not low-carb) are these Brioche-Style Sweet Rolls from Canyon Bakehouse.
• Shredded Cooked Chicken: You can use leftover Air Fryer Chicken Breast or rotisserie chicken.
• Parmesan cheese: Place half a slice on each roll for great melty texture. To keep these dairy-free, we use this vegan cheddar from Violife or Chao and the Provolone slices from Violife.
• Garlic powder + Italian seasoning: The secret seasoning combination we add to the butter that will take these sliders to the next level!
• Butter: melted to brush over the rolls. You can sub with ghee or use vegan butter (we like this one from Miyokos) to keep these dairy-free.

How to make Chicken Parmesan Sliders

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Make the melted butter topping: In a small bowl, mix together the butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

To Make the Sliders:

1. Slice buns: Split your slider buns in half. Then place one half in the bottom of a 11×7″ or 9 x 13 greased baking dish.
2. Make the topping: Start by making the bruschetta topping by combining diced tomatoes with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and balsamic vinegar.
3. Build the layers: Top with parmesan cheese, shredded chicken, the bruschetta topping and a layer of fresh mozzarella slices. Place the top buns in on top and brush on some melted garlic butter over everything and sprinkle it with a little Italian seasoning. That butter seeps into the bread as it cooks and turns it into an amazing garlic bread for these chicken bruschetta sliders.
4. Bake: Cover with a sheet of aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until cheese is gooey and melted.
5. Cut into serving sizes: Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan, if desired. Sliders are best warm and fresh.

What rolls to use

You can use also use any other soft dinner rolls or mini burger rolls you have.

• Soft King’s Hawaiian rolls are always a hit

Serving suggestions

These baked sliders would be delicious on their own as appetizers or snacks or make it a complete meal with:

Storage and Make ahead Instructions

What’s great about making these sliders is that you can make them ahead of time. Freezer friendly so you can freeze any leftovers for another meal.

Make ahead: After assembling the mini sandwiches in a large casserole pan, wrap the pan tightly in plastic wrap or place in and keep in the refrigerator until the next morning or freezer (for up to 2 months) until ready to bake.

Storage: To store leftovers, transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
