Start by heating up the Tyson® Crispy Chicken Strips, or Tyson® Fun Nuggets if your family prefers. Layer on top of each slider bun– one strip, dollop of pizza sauce, and half a slice of mozzarella cheese. Finish off with a sprinkle of shredded Parmesan.

Pop the open-faced slider and bun top under the broiler (or toaster oven) for a few minutes until bun is lightly toasted and cheese is melted and delicious! Put together slider and serve with your favorite side– fries, carrot sticks and celery, a side salad, or even fruit cups. It’s a great family meal!

handy tools to make these sliders even easier: 

• sheet pan – best non stick, super sturdy
• airbake pan – allows baked “fried” foods to come out super crispy, easy to clean

frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a slider and a hamburger?

A slider is just a mini version of a hamburger. Like hamburgers, sliders have evolved into many other things outside of just a beef patty.

How do you keep sliders from getting soggy?

Put your condiments inside your meat and/or cheeses. If you put the condiments directly on the bun this makes it soggy. 

What sides go with parmesan chicken?

Any salad or good vegetable dish. I love a caesar salad, brussels sprouts or roasted vegetable medley.
