If you love burger sliders, you'll flip for these chicken parm sliders that are easy to make and give the popular bar food an Italian spin. Rather than using a chicken breast as you would with classic chicken parmesan, these grilled sliders are made with ground chicken (or turkey) for a genuinely burger-like meal. Switching out Swiss or cheddar, as you find on most burgers, for Mediterranean-style Provolone adds to the Italian flavor.
Chicken Parm Slider Recipe Tips
For the juiciest chicken parm slider patties, choose ground chicken with light and dark meat. Lightly toast or grill the ciabatta rolls for a bit of crunch, and use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for more flavor. To make a complete meal, add a marinara-topped pasta and Caesar salad.
