Preparing Chicken Parm Sliders for Events
When preparing sliders for events, the key is to keep things organized and efficient. Start by gathering all your ingredients: chicken breasts, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, slider buns, and your favourite seasonings.
Jump to RecipeStep 1: Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into small, slider-sized pieces. Coat each piece in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese for that perfect crispy texture. Fry or bake the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 2: Once the chicken is ready, it’s time to assemble the sliders. Place a piece of chicken on the bottom half of each slider bun. Spoon marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 3: Arrange the assembled sliders on a baking sheet. To ensure the cheese melts perfectly and the buns get a slight crisp, bake the sliders in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 4: For a beautiful presentation, arrange the sliders on a large serving platter. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of colour and extra flavour. Serve them warm, and watch as your guests dive in!
Tips for Success
- Prep Ahead: You can bread and cook the chicken the day before your event. Store them in the refrigerator and assemble the sliders just before baking.
- Keep Warm: If you’re serving these at a party, keep the sliders warm in the oven at a low temperature until ready to serve.
