Description
These cheesy baked chicken parmesan sliders are a quick, freezer-friendly meal solution perfect for busy weeknights. Made with Hawaiian rolls, shredded chicken, marinara, and melted cheese, they are easy to assemble and reheat beautifully.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (12-16 rolls) Hawaiian rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup provolone cheese, sliced
- 1 jar (24 oz) marinara sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- If using raw chicken, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then pan-sear for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then chop or shred.
- Keep the Hawaiian rolls together as a single slab and slice them in half horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
- Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Layer the shredded chicken evenly over the sauce.
- Add the mozzarella cheese, then top with the provolone slices.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on and press down gently.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Brush or spoon the butter mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing between the rolls to create individual sliders.
Notes
Keep the rolls attached during assembly to prevent falling apart. Use thick marinara sauce to avoid soggy rolls. For freezing, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil; they last up to 3 months. Reheat frozen sliders in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes covered with foil.
