Ingredients

• Breaded Chicken Tenders: Boneless, skinless, chicken tenders, whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs, 1 egg, and olive oil spray.
• Hawaiian Dinner Rolls: Sweet hawaiian dinner rolls, I like King's Hawaiian.
• Marinara: Homemade or store-bought marinara.
• Mozzarella: Shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Butter: Unsalted butter, melted.
• Seasoning: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and grated parmesan cheese.

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Make the breaded chicken tenders. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Place the egg mixture in another shallow bowl. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumbs. Place on the baking sheet. Spray the tops with olive oil and bake for 15 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
2. Lower the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a medium baking dish with olive oil. Using a bread knife, cut the rolls in half, while leaving them connected to create a big slab. Place the bottom half of the rolls in the baking dish. Set the top half aside.
3. Spread half of the marinara over the rolls. Layer with the cooked chicken tenders, the remaining marinara, and mozzarella cheese. Place the top half of the rolls on top.
4. In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parmesan, italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Brush the garlic herb mixture over the tops of the rolls.
5. Cover the rolls with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to toast the tops.
6. Slice into individual sliders and serve warm!

Expert Tip: To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a warm oven covered for 10 minutes or until heated through. Remove the cover and bake for 3 minutes to toast the tops.

Variations and Substitutions

Here are a few variations to customize Hawaiian Roll Chicken Parm Sliders.

• Use frozen chicken tenders. To save time, you can prepare store-bought breaded chicken tenders or chicken nuggets according to package directions.
• Swap out the cheese. Instead of mozzarella, use your favorite type of cheese, like provolone.
• Instead of Hawaiian Rolls, use your favorite dinner roll. If you don't like the sweetness of hawaiian rolls, simply use your favorite dinner rolls.
• Give them a kick. Stir in some crushed red pepper to the marinara or top with pepperjack cheese.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these chicken parm sliders as a football watch party appetizer on a platter with a small bowl of extra marinara for dipping. You could also serve it for dinner with a simple side salad or sautéed veggies, for a complete meal.

No matter how you serve them, they're going to be a big hit!
