Tiny sandwiches. Big flavor. Huge cheese pull.

Chicken Parm Sausage Sliders

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Servings: 1

Sliders are proof that big flavor can come in small packages. Once the internet figured out that a sheet of sweet Hawaiian rolls could turn out a dozen sliders at once, there was no going back. And naturally, the chicken parm sandwich is a perfect fit—it’s a classic built for gooey cheese pulls and crowd-pleasing, tray-clearing energy.

In this easy take, the traditional breaded cutlet steps aside for Italian Herb Chicken Sausage, bringing juicy, slightly spicy flavor to every bite. Layer it with marinara, cheese, more cheese, and fresh basil, then top, bake, and serve. Just be ready. Once that cheese pull hits, these small wonders won’t last long.

Ingredients

1 package The Sausage Project Italian Herb Chicken Sausage
1 package Hawaiian rolls
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
9 slices fresh mozzarella
¼ cup fresh basil, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Italian seasoning, for garnish
Fresh garlic or garlic salt, for topping

Instructions

Prep Time: 5 min | Cook Time: 15 min | Servings: 1
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally and set the top half aside.
2
Slice each sausage lengthwise into 3–4 strips and set aside.
3
Spread ½ cup marinara over the bottom half of the rolls, covering evenly. Add more if needed, but don’t oversaturate and make them soggy.
4
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then layer on the sausage strips. Lightly brush or spray the sausage with olive oil to help it crisp.
5
Bake for 5–7 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining shredded mozzarella, small dollops of marinara, and the fresh mozzarella slices. Sprinkle with half of the basil.
6
Place the top half of the rolls back on. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic salt and Italian seasoning, then bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden and crisp.
7
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining basil, and serve warm for a spectacular cheese pull.
