Creating Chicken Parmesan Sliders is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps to achieve flavorful sliders that everyone will love:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.

2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

3. Season Chicken: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides of the chicken breasts.

4. Bread the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In another shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

5. Cook Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, cook the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

6. Slice Chicken: Once cool enough to handle, cut each chicken breast into pieces that fit the slider buns.

7. Assemble Sliders: In a baking dish, place the bottom halves of the slider buns. Layer with marinara sauce, pieces of chicken, and top with mozzarella cheese. Place the top halves of the buns over the cheese.

8. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

10. Serve: Slice the sliders and serve warm for the best taste experience.

By following these easy steps, you will create scrumptious Chicken Parmesan Sliders that will leave your guests asking for seconds.
