Buttery Marinara Sauce
I love the story behind the Buttery Marinara Sauce because it was created by a mother-daughter duo. Read their story here!
Buttery Marinara has SO many uses, but when I think summer I love a good slider. Chicken, beef, turkey, pork, I don't care. I just like the tiny, handheld sandwiches that are easy to make and serve!
When brainstorming ideas, the Chicken Parmesan Sandwich came up and I knew I had to put my own White Kitchen Red Wine spin on it...
Lightened Up Chicken Parmesan
To create a dish that was a bit lighter, we baked these chicken parmesan sliders instead of going the traditional breaded/fried route.
This chicken parmesan is baked in the oven to perfection IN the Buttery Marinara, topped with melty cheese, and between Italian herbed slider buns.
It takes nearly no time or prep to develop amazing flavors in this dish thanks to Just Like Home's Buttery Marinara Sauce.
