CHICKEN PARM SLIDERS



Chicken Parm Sliders image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 slider rolls
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 small boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 1/2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup prepared marinara, warmed, plus more for serving
6 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Split the slider rolls in half. Place the bottoms cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet and the tops cut-side down. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until softened but not colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Brush the garlic butter on the cut sides of the bottom rolls and the tops of the top rolls. Sprinkle all with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until the edges are golden and the cheese is crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 6 thinner cutlets, then cut each cutlet in half crosswise to make 12 bun-size pieces of chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the flour in a shallow bowl, beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl and spread the breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken piece first in the flour, then in the eggs and then in the breadcrumbs.
  • Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping in a few breadcrumbs; when the oil sizzles, it's ready. Cook the chicken in batches, until the coating is crisp and browned and the chicken is just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on a wire rack in a baking sheet.
  • Remove the bun tops from the baking sheet. Spoon half of the marinara in the indent of each bun bottom and top with a piece of chicken. Top with the remaining marinara and the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add a basil leaf or two to each slider before topping with the buns. Serve immediately.

CHEESY CHICKEN PARMESAN MEATBALLS



Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Meatballs image

This one-dish dinner takes inspiration from chicken Parmesan, but eliminates the fuss of breading and frying chicken cutlets. Instead, chicken meatballs are the star, delivering an equally comforting and satisfying meal. The unexpected secret to these tender meatballs is tofu, which keeps them juicy. Simply press pieces of tofu between your fingertips to create small crumbles that resemble ground meat. The addition of ricotta creates a creamy texture, as well as great flavor. The meatballs are simmered in marinara sauce with red bell peppers, which infuse the sauce with fresh flavor and natural sweetness. Sharp and tangy provolone completes the dish, although mozzarella could be used for milder flavor. Enjoy over buttered egg noodles, or with crusty bread to sop up the sauce.

Categories     dinner, casseroles, meat, meatballs, one pot, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup crumbled firm tofu (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup ricotta (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup plain bread crumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound ground chicken (or turkey)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, cored and sliced lengthwise 1/2-inch-thick
3 cups marinara sauce (about 24 ounces)
6 ounces sliced provolone cheese,
Cooked egg noodles or other pasta, for serving
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine tofu, ricotta, Parmesan, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, oregano, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and mix until well combined. Add chicken and gently mix to incorporate. Lightly wet hands to prevent meatball mixture from sticking, then roll into 24 (1 1/2-inch) golf ball-size rounds.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium. Add bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add marinara sauce and meatballs, and stir gently to coat the meatballs in the sauce. Bring to a boil, cover and transfer to the oven to bake until meatballs are cooked through, 20 minutes.
  • Top with provolone slices, slightly overlapping, and bake until cheese melts, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Serve meatballs, peppers and sauce over egg noodles. Garnish with parsley, if using.

Tips:

  • For the chicken meatballs, use a combination of ground chicken and ground pork for a flavorful and juicy result.
  • To ensure the meatballs are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • When making the marinara sauce, use high-quality tomatoes and fresh herbs for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have slider buns, you can use small dinner rolls or even slices of bread.
  • For a cheesy and gooey filling, use a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  • If you want to make the sliders ahead of time, assemble them completely and then store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake them according to the recipe instructions.

Conclusion:

These Chicken Parmesan Meatball Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings.
