Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F. Dip the chicken in the egg to coat completely. Let the egg drip off the chicken for a few seconds, then dredge to coat in the breadcrumbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken, working in batches if needed. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Use a bread knife to cut the slider buns in half. Place the bottom half of the buns into a 9x13" baking dish, lightly greased with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken over the buns.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the chicken, then top with the slices of mozzarella cheese. Place the top of the slider buns over the cheese.
Mix the melted butter, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder together. Generously spoon the mixture over the top of the buns to coat.
Transfer the dish to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops of the buns are browned to your liking. Slice between each slider bun and serve.

Notes

*How to slice chicken breast into cutlets:

With the chicken breast on a cutting board, place your hand firmly on top to hold it in place.
Holding the knife blade parallel to the cutting board, carefully slice the chicken breast in half, lengthwise, to create two equal-sized thin cutlets.

**The Italian seasoning I used had salt in it, so I didn't call for any extra salt to be added. There is salt in the cheeses, sauce, and seasoned breadcrumbs, so it's unlikely you'll need to add any extra. However, since brands will vary greatly, taste as you go and add salt if needed.
