Our family has always been a football watching family. Growing up, Sundays were the days that we knew that there wouldn’t be anything but football on the TV. Growing up in Denver obviously means we were big Denver Broncos fans, still are. As the kids get older, both of them are getting more and more into the whole Bronco Sunday thing which is so much fun. I have started thinking more about making Sundays better for the whole family by incorporating some yummy tailgating treats and food for our game watching fun.
For those into the College games, how about them Colorado Buffs!! Oh man, we are ranked again! How did that happen? Goodness knows we are now having to dedicate some time on Saturdays for our Buffs too! Colorado is a great state for college and pro football! It is a great time of year here.
This is a picture from the 1990 of my dad and me all ready for a Superbowl party! Orange and blue runs deep! Looking at pictures like this makes me want to have some fun memories like this with my kids. Now, Sundays are usually my catch up day for everything so all of these ideas of yummy football recipes have to be easy and fast recipes. Busy mom here! Last weekend I tried a new recipe that everyone loved and it could totally be a full meal or just a great appetizer idea to share at the next tailgate party.
Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Ingredients:
1 package of slider buns (I used 10)
1 package of Foster Farms Crispy Strips (1.5 pounds)
2 cups pasta sauce of choice
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

2 TBSP melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a large baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Prepare Foster Farms Crispy Strips as directed on the package.
3. While the chicken is being prepared, layer the bottom of the buns into the baking dish.
4. Layer cooked chicken strips on top of the buns.
5. Top chicken with sauce evenly.
6. Sprinkle Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
7. Place bun tops over the cheese.
8. Combine melted butter and garlic powder and brush tops of the sliders with the butter mixture.
9. Sprinkle Italian Seasoning over the sliders.
10. Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
11. After 10 minutes remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
12. Serve and enjoy while warm and cheese is melty! Yum!!!
Not only was this an easy recipe but it turned out great for our family dinner. I could totally see me making these for an appetizer to share at any tailgating party too. I love using Foster Farms products because it helps me provide home-cooked meals with a little help. Family life is busy but having recipes like this on hand help me feel ready to attack any meal!

How adorable are you!! Love the picture of you and your dad, too sweet!
We aren't big football fans in our house but we love pub style foods and this dish looks delicious!
Can't wait to try it!
The picture of you and your dad is so stinking cute! I love the combination of high class dining and the ease of bar/pub food! These would be great grub any day of the week.
Wow these look so good! Such a fun and different take on traditional chicken parm! These pictures are so sweet too! : ) I'd love to try and make this one; those Italian seasoned buns must make this even more yummy! Amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I'm loving how streamlined the making of these is…laying all the items casserole style makes it quick, I'm sure?! And we love us some chicken parm. I'm sure it's incredible in a slider version! Yum.
I was never into watching football when I was younger (I watch it all the time now!), but my dad was a die hard Packers Fan. He even had an entire room dedicated to all things Packers related. I do remember my mom always making delicious food anytime they were playing. These sliders look amazing! Chicken Parm is one of my all time favorite dishes, but it can be so time consuming to make.
Oh this looks absolutely amazing! I've looked for Foster products around me, but I don't think we have them at our local grocery stores! I've heard nothing but good things about Foster Farm products, and your sliders look absolutely delicious, I want to lick the screen! lol
Foster Farms is one of my favorite brands, but I didn't know that they had these crispy strips. I will have to look for them in my area. This is a delicious tailgate appetizer idea!
We always make chicken parmesan and we always make sliders, but we have never thought to combined them like this before. You are so creative! I love it. And I will definitely be trying this soon because we have all the ingredients, yay!
This is perfect since we area a huge football family too! Even on non-game days, I am always looking for a quick, easy way to feed my kiddo's! I love what you did with the rolls, it makes them look much more pleasing then the regular old rolls that I put them on! I will definitely be trying this recipe!
This recipe looks delicious. I am going to try it
Thanks for sharing, this looks delicious. I love meals like this, especially on football nights. Hard to even pull us away from the tv. LoL.
