Introduction

Marry Me Chicken Sliders are a delicious and easy-to-make dish perfect for casual gatherings or a tasty weeknight treat. Tender chicken breasts simmered in a creamy Parmesan sauce are nestled in soft slider buns with fresh greens and tomatoes. These sliders are sure to impress with their rich flavor and satisfying bite.

Six small sandwiches are placed in a black tray on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has a shiny, golden-brown top bun with black sesame seeds and finely chopped green herbs sprinkled on top. Inside the sandwiches, there are visible grilled patties with melted cheese that is slightly browned, resting on a layer of green leafy vegetables. The buns are soft and fluffy with a light color on the sides and bottoms. In the background, there are small bowls with white sauce and green leaves, slightly blurred.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
9-12 slider buns
Fresh spinach or arugula, for garnish
Sliced tomatoes, for garnish
Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken breasts evenly with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning.
Step 2: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Step 3: In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing continuously until the sauce is smooth and combined.
Step 4: Slice the rested chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet with the sauce and let it soak for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 5: Cut the slider buns in half and toast lightly if desired. Spoon a generous amount of the creamy chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun.
Step 6: Add fresh spinach or arugula and sliced tomatoes on top of the chicken for a crisp, fresh contrast.
Step 7: Place the top half of the slider bun over the filling. Secure with a toothpick if needed for easier handling.
Step 8: Arrange the sliders on a serving platter and serve immediately for best taste.

Tips & Variations

Use mozzarella instead of Parmesan for a milder, creamier sauce.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a subtle spicy kick.
Swap spinach or arugula for fresh basil leaves for an aromatic twist.
Prepare the sauce and chicken a day ahead; reheat gently and assemble sliders just before serving.
For a low-carb option, use lettuce wraps in place of slider buns.

Storage

Store any leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep slider buns separate to prevent sogginess. To reheat, gently warm the chicken mixture on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally. Assemble sliders fresh before serving to maintain the best texture.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs work well and offer a juicier texture. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they are cooked through.

Is it okay to freeze the sliders?

It’s best to freeze the chicken mixture separately from the buns. Freeze the chicken mixture in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently. Assemble sliders fresh to keep buns from becoming soggy.
