Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I’ve always loved a good Chicken Parmesan Dish. I’ve had some great versions of this dish in many different restaurants over the years. It really is one of the ultimate comfort foods. I’ve been meaning to put a Chicken Parm Recipe on this website. But, last week, we posted a recipe for a French Dip Slider. It was such a fun take on an older, traditional recipe, that I thought it would be fun to share a recipe for Chicken Parmesan Sliders too!
We love how easy this is to make. And it is great finger food to entertain at your next party! Guests can just grab and go! And it’s great this this works awesome as an appetizer, or just as a dinner or lunch. Pair with a side salad, french fries or some potato chips for a complete meal!

Chicken Parm Sliders Recipe
Just like so many other recipes on this website, there are no curveballs here. Just Comfort Food, easy and simple. For the full, step-by-step instructions, check out the printable recipe card below. But here is what you’ll need to get started.
- BREADED CHICKEN BREASTS – Just plain, store bought frozen Breaded Chicken Tenders is what we use here. Want to make your own breaded chicken breasts, go for it. Here is a pretty simple recipe. Or, we also have a Bisquick Breaded Chicken Finger Recipe that would be fun to use too. Just cut them up and load them on!
- HAWAIIAN ROLLS – Our secret weapon! Sure, you can substitute for any other slider roll. But the soft, sweet taste of these Hawaiian Sweet Rolls just can’t be beat!
- PROVOLONE CHEESE – You can also substitute for Mozzarella Cheese if you need or want to. Or, even sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top!
- MARINARA SAUCE – Once again, store bought sauce. We are all about simple recipes on this site. If you want food made from scratch, there are plenty of other websites out there. Use whatever sounds good to you.
- BUTTER – Is there any way to make a Hawaiian Roll taste even better? Yep. Melt butter and minced garlic on top of it!
- MINCED GARLIC – See above.
Storage and Freezing
You can store leftovers in an Airtight Container in your refrigerator. Please note, they will NEVER be as delicious as they are straight out of the oven. The buns will start to get soggy the longer they sit.
I would not freeze this recipe.
Can You Make These Ahead Of Time?
I would not make these ahead of time. They are best served fresh right out of the oven. Honestly, they are so easy and quick to make, there is really no reason you would need to do this.
But you CAN cook your chicken the day before and just keep them in the fridge. Heat them up a little before adding them and baking them in the sandwich. Just a couple seconds in the microwave should do it.
This recipe makes 6 Chicken Parmesan Sliders. If you need to make more, it would be easy to double this recipe.
Notes, Tips and Variations
- GRILLED CHICKEN? – If you want to try to lighten this recipe a bit, you can use boneless chicken breasts instead or the breaded chicken. You could even try getting a Rotisserie Chicken at the store and shredding it up. Then loading it up with the marinara and cheese. Certainly not a traditional Chicken Parm, but who cares?
- REALLY SHORT ON TIME? – In a pinch, you can also use Frozen Chicken Nuggets and make them work. We won’t judge.
- WHAT BAKING DISH TO USE? – It will really depend on how many you are making. For our recipe, we used a 10X6 inch dish. But could even just use a baking sheet if you need to!
- USE A SPOON TO SPREAD THE SAUCE – We found the easiest way to spread the marinara sauce around is the back of spoon.
- ADDITIONS – Top the slider buns with some Italian Seasoning to add to the garlic and butter mixture, or add it inside the sandwich on the cheese. Or, garnish with fresh basil to add some color and taste.
I hope you enjoy this recipe for Chicken Parm Sliders. Let me know how it turns out in the comments!
