Chicken Parmesan SlidersSLIDERS RECIPE

I have quite a few slider recipes on my site because I love that they’re small hand held bites of goodness.

I’ve experimented with a chicken parmesan version of a slider over the years and always ran into the same problem. Sogginess. When you have marinara on bread it will start to get soggy.Chicken Parmesan Sliders

The solution? Cheese on the bottom and top of the slider to make a barrier.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHICKEN STRIPS AND CHICKEN TENDERS

The biggest difference is the shape. Chicken strips are made from the breast and are more rectangular in shape. Chicken tenders are made from the tenderloin and are thinner in shape.
