As much as I’m not looking forward to the end of summer, I have to admit that seeing all the Back to School stuff in stores gets me a little excited. We always completely lose our routines during summer and I actually look forward to the school, homework, soccer practice, dinner rush that will be upon us next month.

I’m sharing a really easy dinner recipe that will help with that weeknight crazy schedule and it’s so delicious that no one in the family will complain!

It’s everyone’s favorite Hawaiian rolled topped with frozen chicken tenders (told you it was easy!), marinara sauce, and lots of cheese. They get brushed with a delicious savory glaze and then baked until all the cheese is melted and the rolls are browned.

Ingredients

Frozen breaded chicken strips – use your favorite kind. We love the extra crispy Tyson chicken strips because the extra crispiness holds up well to all the sauce and cheeses
Hawaiian rolls
Provolone cheese – you can use Swiss if you happen to have it
Marinara sauce – use your favorite store-bought or homemade marinara
Mozzarella cheese
Butter
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Crushed red pepper flakes – you can leave this off if you don’t like any bit of spice
Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Bake chicken strips according to package instructions.
While the chicken strips are baking, slice entire loaf of Hawaiian rolls (keep them connected!) in half, so that you get tops and bottoms.
Place bottoms on a lined baking dish.
Lay provolone cheese on the bottoms of the rolls.
Once chicken is cooked and crispy, lower oven temperature to 375F.
Place chicken on the rolls and cheese, making sure each roll gets a chicken strip.
Spoon marinara sauce on top of the chicken and sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella.
Top with the roll tops.
In a small bowl, melt butter and stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Brush melted butter mixture on the tops of rolls and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and rolls are browned.

How Long Are They Good For?

These Chicken Parmesan Sliders will be good in the fridge for about 3 days. I would wrap them tightly in aluminum foil to keep them fresh for as long as possible.

Keep in mind that the bread will absorb the moisture from the sauce and cheese and they sit in the fridge so they’re not going to be as tasty on day 3.

I would reheat them in the oven for a few minutes so the tops get a little crisp again.

Can You Make Sliders Ahead?

I don’t recommend making these ahead of time. The bread will get soggy if they have to sit for very long.
