Delicious Chicken Marsala Sliders

These sliders feature juicy chicken breast cooked in a savory Marsala wine sauce, topped with peppery arugula and served on soft slider buns. The recipe takes about 30 minutes to prepare and serves 6 sliders.

Ingredients

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Marsala wine
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
6 slider buns
1 cup fresh arugula
Grated Parmesan cheese for topping (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
Make the Marsala Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and sliced onions. Sauté until onions are translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
Slice the Chicken: Once the chicken has rested, slice it into thin pieces and return to the skillet, coating it with the sauce.
Assemble the Sliders: Toast the slider buns if desired. Place a few slices of chicken on the bottom half of each bun, top with arugula, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using. Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve: Arrange the sliders on a platter and serve warm.
