Chicken parmesan, also know as chicken parmigiana, was created by Italian immigrants in the United States.

Typically, chicken parmesan recipes include breaded chicken along with provolone or mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce.

Honestly, I enjoy chicken with practically any type of cheese, especially if it’s with a delicious type of roll or sub bun.

This recipe I’m bringing you today was put together because I had leftover rotisserie chicken and Hawaiian rolls to use up.

And what better way than to make Chicken Parmesan Sliders with these ingredients!

Ingredients Needed For These Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Hawaiian rolls
Rotisserie chicken
Pasta sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
Italian seasoning

If I don’t have time to prep chicken, I’ll swap it out with rotisserie chicken instead.

I love purchasing a rotisserie chicken anytime I’m at my local Sam’s Club. For $5, I get a tasty whole chicken with white and dark meat to please the entire family.

Eventually, I’ll make my own slow cooker “rotisserie” chicken, but until then, store-bought it is!

And if I don’t have time to use up all the rotisserie chicken I’ll freeze it to enjoy later.

Simple Steps to Prep These Chicken Parmesan Sliders

First, slice Hawaiian rolls in half (no need to separate the individual rolls). Then place the shredded chicken evenly on top of the bottom half of the rolls.

Next, pour the pasta sauce over top of the chicken.

Now, place four slices over top of the pasta sauce.

Add the top half of the Hawaiian rolls to the cheese, coat the top of the rolls with butter or olive oil spray.

And finally, sprinkle the top of the rolls with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.

Dietitian’s Dish

When it comes to dark meat versus white meat, you may be surprised how little difference there is.

Here’s a comparison of a 3-ounce serving of a skinless, boneless chicken breast compared to a skinless dark chicken leg.

Chicken breast (without skin): 140 calories, 3 grams total fat, 1 gram saturated fat.

Dark chicken meat (without skin): 170 calories, 9 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat.

Both types are rich in vitamins and minerals and are excellent sources of protein. And if you shop with a budget in mind, dark meat is typically cheaper.

As you can see there are a few minor differences. I personally prefer dark meat, it’s juicier and just a bit tastier to me.
