- 4 chicken breasts (breaded and cooked)
- 12 slider buns
- 8 mozzarella cheese slices
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Sauce and Cheese Topping:
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
Seasoning and Garnish:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 4 black olives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm the oven to a moderate 350°F, preparing the baking environment for these festive sliders.
- Carefully arrange the slider buns across a clean baking sheet, creating a uniform base for the Halloween-themed chicken parmesan.
- Delicately position the crispy breaded chicken pieces atop each bottom bun, ensuring complete coverage.
- Ladle a generous spoonful of rich marinara sauce directly over the chicken, allowing the vibrant red sauce to peek through.
- Sprinkle a layer of melty mozzarella cheese across the sauced chicken, creating a gooey, appetizing surface.
- Gently place the top buns over the cheesy chicken, creating compact little sandwich packages.
- Generously brush the slider tops with a fragrant garlic butter mixture, adding an extra layer of flavor and golden sheen.
- Slide the prepared sliders into the preheated oven, baking for 10-12 minutes until the cheese becomes perfectly molten and the buns turn a light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and transform these tasty sliders into spooky Halloween treats by strategically placing sliced black olives to create playful, eerie eyes.
- Serve immediately while warm, ready to delight Halloween party guests with these ghoulishly good chicken parmesan sliders.
Notes
- Use thin chicken cutlets to ensure even cooking and prevent dry meat.
- Apply a light coating of breadcrumbs for extra crispiness without overwhelming the chicken.
- Customize sliders for dietary needs by using gluten-free buns or plant-based chicken alternatives.
- Create a spooky presentation by cutting olives into fun monster or jack-o’-lantern shapes for more Halloween flair.
