Ingredients
- 24 oz (680g) frozen breaded chicken tenders
- 1 package (340g) Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 14 slices beef provolone cheese, divided
- 1 jar (680g) marinara sauce
- TOPPING:
- 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, cubed
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) minced fresh basil
Instructions
- Set your oven to a temperature of 375°F. Cook the chicken tenders following the instructions on their packaging. Meanwhile, slice the Hawaiian roll loaf horizontally without separating the rolls. Place the roll bottoms into a greased 13×9-inch baking dish.
- Lay eight slices of beef provolone cheese on the roll bases, overlapping them if necessary. Put the rolls in the oven and bake until the cheese has melted, which should take around three to five minutes. Remember, don’t turn off the oven after this step, as it will be needed shortly.
- Use a spoon to spread half of the marinara sauce over the rolls, ensuring the sauce reaches all edges and corners. Arrange the chicken tenders over the sauce, then spread the rest of the marinara sauce on top. Place the remaining six slices of cheese on top and cover with the roll tops.
- In a small bowl, melt the vegetable oil with garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes in the microwave, covering the bowl and stirring occasionally until fully melted. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the rolls. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Alternatively, you can melt the mixture on the stove in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring continuously.
- Place the rolls back in the oven, uncovered, and bake until they are golden and heated through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Finish by sprinkling fresh basil over the sliders. If you like, serve with additional marinara sauce in a separate bowl for dipping.
Notes
- Consider using grilled chicken tenders instead of breaded ones for a lighter option with reduced calories and fat.
- Experiment with mozzarella or cheddar cheese for a unique flavor in the sliders.
- Add a touch of sweetness by drizzling honey or balsamic glaze over the sliders before serving for a delicious twist.
