Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1.5 lbs)
2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup marinara sauce
2 cups shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
8 slider buns (preferably whole wheat)
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients by gathering them on the countertop.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest briefly. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then stir in marinara sauce.
Return chicken to the skillet, spoon marinara over each piece, and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Cover until cheese is melted.
Slice slider buns in half and layer each bottom half with chicken, extra marinara if desired, and fresh basil leaves. Cap with bun tops.
Place assembled sliders on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until buns are lightly toasted.
