  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 egg beaten egg

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, Panko bread crumbs, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, beaten egg, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Mix well and roll into 12 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  3. Place the meatballs in an oven-proof skillet or baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  4. Once the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the oven and spoon marinara sauce over each meatball. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each meatball.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the mixture over the slider rolls.
  6. Place the buttered rolls on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for a couple of minutes, or until lightly golden.
  7. Place one meatball on each toasted slider roll. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh basil and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • If using grated Parmesan cheese, it may not work as well in this recipe. Use shredded Parmesan for best texture.
  • If you like, you can garnish with fresh basil for added flavor.
