Total Time Prep: 20 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield 1 dozen

These chicken parm sliders are just the thing for the big game, or the big party, or regular ol' dinner! Whatever the event, a cheesy, saucy handheld sammy is sure to satisfy.

Ingredients

24 ounces frozen breaded chicken tenders
1 package (12 ounces) Hawaiian sweet rolls
14 slices provolone cheese, divided
1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
TOPPING:
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare chicken tenders according to package directions. Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut in half horizontally; arrange roll bottoms in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place 8 cheese slices over roll bottoms, overlapping as needed. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
Layer rolls with half the sauce, chicken tenders, remaining sauce and remaining 6 cheese slices. Replace top halves of rolls.
For topping, microwave butter, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, covered, on high, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Pour over rolls; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and heated through, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with basil before serving; if desired, serve with additional marinara sauce.
