Being Italian, chicken parm is a big deal in my house. I decided to try a new twist on an old favorite by making Chicken Parmesan Sliders. What a treat! They are saucy, cheesy, and delicious with soft, seasoned buns. This is one of our favorite game day sandwich recipes, along with these Italian Sliders.

How to make shredded chicken parmesan sliders
Place defrosted chicken breasts and into a crock pot and sprinkle them with oregano and garlic powder.
I get my chicken from ButcherBox. They deliver the healthiest, highest quality meat while causing as little harm as they can to the environment.
Add marinara sauce on top of the chicken.
Cook for 4 hours on high and shred chicken. Combine with the sauce.
Cut open 12 slider rolls and place them in a greased 9x13 casserole pan. Try to slice the sliders so that the tops are taken off but they are still attached to each other on the bottom.
Spread the shredded, saucy chicken onto the halves of the slider rolls.
Spread shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
Place the top of the buns over the mozzarella. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with a mix of garlic powder, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees or until the cheese has melted and tops have started to brown.
Slice the chicken parmesan sliders with shredded chicken and serve.
These sliders are gooey and cheesy and oh so good! They will be a dinner that your family asks for again and again.
Frequently asked questions
These are great with a side of fries or chips. A side Cesar salad works great too!
Sure! If you are short on time, just pick up a rotisserie chicken, cut it up into bite size chunks and follow the recipe as directed.
Yes. Instant Pot shredded chicken is so easy to make and takes hardly any time. Simply place 2-3 pounds of skinless boneless chicken breast, 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon garlic power and ½ teaspoon of pepper into an Instant Pot. Pressure cook for 10 minutes and then do a quick release. Remove the chicken from the Instant Pot and shred the chicken as normal.
My favorite way to shred chicken is to use a hand mixer or stand mixer. Place the chicken in a bowl and use a mixer on it. Seriously! It is so easy.
Hawaiian rolls or brioche rolls work well.
