Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Chicken
Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, take the boneless, skinless chicken thighs and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt over the chicken thighs.

Step 4: Mix Ingredients
Using your hands or a spoon, thoroughly mix the chicken thighs, ensuring that they are evenly coated with the spices and cheese.
Step 5: Cook Chicken
Transfer the chicken thighs to a lined baking sheet and spread them out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Step 6: Shred Chicken
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Step 7: Prepare Sliders
While the chicken is cooling, slice the slider buns in half. Place the bottom halves of the buns on a serving platter.

Scoop an appropriate amount of the shredded chicken mixture onto each bun bottom, then sprinkle additional Parmesan if desired.
Step 9: Add Bun Tops
Place the top halves of the buns on each slider to complete the assembly.
