Ingredients

• 1 12-pack Slider rolls
• 1 lb. Chicken tenders, cooked
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 12 slices Provolone cheese
• 1/4 cup Butter, melted
• 1 1/2 tsp Sea salt
• 2 Tbsp. Garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp. Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
• Chopped parsley for decoration (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Step 2: Using a large knife, carefully slice the entire package of slider rolls in half horizontally, creating a bottom and a top half. Place the bottom half on the prepared baking sheet and set the top half aside.
3. Step 3: Arrange 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
4. Step 4: Shred the cooked chicken tenders by hand and distribute generously over the cheese-covered rolls. Spoon marinara sauce evenly over the chicken, then top each slider with another slice of provolone cheese.
5. Step 5: Place the top half of the slider rolls over the assembled sandwiches.
6. Step 6: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sea salt, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese until combined. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the sliders.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted. Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture before brushing on the sliders.
• Substitute mozzarella cheese for provolone for a milder cheese flavor.
• Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time on cooking the chicken tenders.
• Make it spicy by adding sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce inside the sliders.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melted. Avoid microwaving as it may make the bread soggy.

FAQs

Can I prepare these sliders in advance?
