Ingredients:

For the Sliders:

• 12 King’s Hawaiian rolls
• 1 pound chicken tenders, cooked
• ½ cup marinara sauce
• 8 slices provolone cheese
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

For the Butter Topping:

• ¼ cup (57g) butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
2. Assemble the Sliders
   • Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected as a whole sheet. Place the bottom half of the rolls into the prepared baking dish.
   • Layer 6 slices of provolone cheese over the bottom buns, followed by the cooked chicken tenders, marinara sauce, fresh mozzarella slices, and chopped basil.
   • Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the assembled ingredients.
3. Prepare the Butter Topping
   In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, sea salt, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
4. Brush the Sliders
   Generously brush the top of the rolls with the butter mixture, making sure to coat them evenly for maximum flavor.
5. Bake
   Cover the baking dish with foil and bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Golden Top
   After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to allow the tops of the sliders to turn golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Serve
   Once the sliders are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice the sliders apart and serve them warm. Enjoy the cheesy, savory goodness!

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Parmesan Sliders:

• Chicken Tenders: Use cooked chicken tenders for convenience. You can use pre-cooked or homemade tenders, or even leftover grilled or baked chicken.
• Extra Flavor: For added flavor, sprinkle a bit of red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning on top of the marinara layer before baking.
• Cheese Choices: If you don’t have fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella works just as well. You can also substitute the provolone with your favorite cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
