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 oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Slice rolls: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves in a prepared baking dish and set the top halves aside.
  3. Assemble sliders: On the bottom buns, layer 6 slices of provolone cheese evenly. Then add the cooked chicken tenders, spread the marinara sauce over the chicken, lay down sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with chopped fresh basil.
  4. Top sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls carefully on top of the assembled bottom halves with fillings.
  5. Mix butter topping: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with sea salt, minced garlic, finely chopped fresh parsley, and grated parmesan cheese. Stir well to blend all flavors.
  6. Brush tops: Use a brush to generously coat the tops of the slider buns with the garlic butter mixture.
  7. Bake covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese inside is hot and bubbly.
  8. Finish baking uncovered: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes or until the tops of the sliders are golden brown and slightly crisp.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven, slice the sliders individually, and serve warm for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Notes

  • Use cooked chicken tenders to save time; grilled or baked chicken both work well.
  • If you prefer a spicier flavor, add red pepper flakes to the marinara or garlic butter topping.
  • Make sure to cover with foil during the initial bake to prevent the rolls from drying out.
  • These sliders can be prepared ahead and baked right before serving for convenience.
  • Swap out fresh basil for spinach or arugula to add a different fresh flavor note.
