Three Cheese Chicken & Pork Sliders with Marinara

Ingredients

  • 12 to 16 oz. ground chicken breast
  • 12 to 16 oz. hot Italian sausage
  • 2 c. panko divided in half
  • 1 c. grated Parmesan divided in half
  • 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning
  • S & P to taste
  • sliced provolone ~6 slices
  • 1 to 2 c. oil I used grape seed oil
  • 1 c. shredded mozzarella
  • 16 oz. container fresh marinara
  • 12 small potato rolls or slider buns

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F.
  2. Pour prepared marinara in a small sauce pan and simmer over medium heat until reduced by half (about 20 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine chicken, sausage, 1 c. panko, ½ c. Parmesan, and S & P.
  4. Mix on low until combined.
  5. Divide meat mixture into 12 portions.
  6. Stack provolone slices and cut into quarter sized pieces stacked about 3 to 4 slices high (you want to end up with ~ ½ slice of provolone per burger patty).
  7. Press each little provolone stack into each portion of meat and form a small burger patty.
  8. Combine remaining panko and Parmesan with Italian seasoning and S & P.
  9. Stir to evenly combine ingredients.
  10. Coat each slider patty with the panko mixture.
  11. Heat the oil to medium high in a large cast iron skillet (you want it deep enough that it will come half way up the side of each patty).
  12. Fry the patties in the oil 4 at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  13. Transfer the cooked patties to paper towels to drain.
  14. When all patties are cooked and drained place them on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
  15. Bake the patties for 5 minutes.
  16. Top patties with half the marinara and a generous pinch of mozzarella.
  17. Bake for 3 more minutes so the cheese melts.
  18. Transfer cheesy patties to toasted rolls or buns spread with remaining marinara.
  19. EAT!!!
