🤔 Common Questions

Can I make these Chicken Parm Sliders ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the sliders up to the butter topping, cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, place them in a 350°F oven and add about 5–10 extra minutes to ensure they’re heated through.

Can I swap the chicken patties for something else?

Yes. Any fully cooked breaded chicken cutlet or patty works—frozen or fresh. Make sure the chicken is cooked and crispy before assembling to avoid soggy sliders.

Ingredients

For the Sliders

  • 1 package King’s Hawaiian rolls
  • 5 fully cooked breaded chicken patties (Tyson white meat chicken patties recommended)
  • 6 slices deli-thin provolone cheese
  • About 12 thin slices deli pepperoni
  • 4–5 tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, shredded

For the Garlic Herb Butter

  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (jarred is fine)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Cook the Chicken

  • Bake the chicken patties according to package directions until hot and crispy. Set aside.

Prep the Rolls

  • Slice the King’s Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them intact as a sheet.
  • Place the bottom half of the roll sheet in a baking tray. You can bake the sliders right in the tray the rolls come in or on a foil-lined baking sheet for easy transport.

Build the Layers

  • Add the provolone slices over the bottom rolls.
  • Layer thinly sliced pepperoni over the cheese.
  • Spread a thin layer of marinara over the pepperoni (about 4–5 tablespoons total).

Add the Chicken

  • Place 4 whole chicken patties evenly across the rolls. Cut the remaining patty in half and place the halves so every slider has chicken.
  • Spoon a small dollop of marinara over each chicken piece.

Make the Garlic Herb Butter

  • In a bowl, combine melted butter, parsley, Pecorino Romano, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Drizzle a little of the butter mixture over the sauced chicken.

Cheese It Up

  • Evenly sprinkle all 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella over the chicken and sauce.

Top & Bake

  • Place the top half of the rolls on and pour the remaining garlic herb butter evenly over the tops.
  • Cover loosely with foil and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, until everything is hot and the cheese is melted. Uncover for the last 5 minutes to brown the tops lightly, if desired.
