Ingredients

Scale

Sliders

  • 12 Kings 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

Garlic 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the Kings Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves into a prepared baking dish and set the top halves aside.
  3. Assemble the sliders: Layer 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly over the bottom buns. Next, add the cooked chicken tenders, then spread the marinara sauce, followed by slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of chopped fresh basil.
  4. Add the top buns: Place the reserved top halves of the rolls over the assembled ingredients to form sliders.
  5. Prepare the garlic butter topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with sea salt, minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, and grated parmesan cheese to create a flavorful butter mixture.
  6. Brush the rolls: Generously brush the melted garlic butter mixture over the top buns to add flavor and ensure a golden crust when baked.
  7. Cover and bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes at 350°F, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove foil and finish baking: Take off the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the tops of the sliders turn a beautiful golden brown.
  9. Serve: Remove the sliders from the oven, slice them apart, and serve warm for a savory and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • Make sure the chicken tenders are fully cooked before assembling the sliders to ensure food safety.
  • You can prepare the garlic butter mixture in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Substitute fresh mozzarella with shredded mozzarella if preferred, but fresh slices provide the best melt and texture.
  • These sliders can be customized by adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Use foil to cover the baking dish to prevent the rolls from drying out during the initial bake.
