Chicken Parmesan Sliders
Description
Chicken Parmesan Sliders combine frozen chicken tenders baked according to package instructions, stacked with marinara sauce and sliced provolone cheese between halved Hawaiian sweet rolls. The assembly is brushed with a garlic butter glaze made from melted butter, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Baked covered, then uncovered briefly to brown, the result is a soft-topped slider with melted cheese and flavorful chicken inside. The glaze adds a buttery, slightly spicy, and cheesy touch to the top crust. This recipe is well suited for serving warm as a handheld snack or light meal accompaniment.
The sliders have layers of tender chicken tenders, melted provolone cheese, and bright marinara sauce between soft Hawaiian rolls. Baking them in a foil-covered dish locks in moisture while melding flavors. The garlic butter glaze ensures a flavorful, golden topping that enhances contrast with the soft interior.
Serve these sliders fresh from the oven so the cheese is gooey and the bread retains softness. They work well as finger food for casual gatherings or game day. The recipe’s focus on assembly and baking allows the frozen tenders to be used without frying, simplifying preparation.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces chicken tenders frozen
- 1 (12 count) package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 12 lices provolone cheese sliced
- 1 cup marinara sauce
GARLIC BUTTER GLAZE
- 1/4 /4 cup butter melted
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Prepare tenders according to the package directions.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 baking dish. Slice rolls horizontally in half and place bottom half of rolls in pan.
- Add half of the cheese on the bottom half of the rolls covering completely. Layer half of the marinara sauce (1/2 cup), chicken tenders, the remaining 1/2 cup of marinara, topped with the remaining cheese. Top with roll tops.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butte, garlic, and red pepper. Brush on top of the rolls. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Cover rolls with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, uncovering for the last 5 minutes to slightly brown the rolls. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen chicken tenders baked as directed to simplify preparation.
- Brush the garlic butter glaze evenly over the rolls to achieve a golden and flavorful crust.
