Chicken Marinara Sliders

Ingredients

  • 12 ct package Hawaiian Rolls
  • 24 oz chicken nuggets or tenders
  • 5 oz butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
  • 1 cup marinara sauce divided
  • 9 slices mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the chicken nuggets according to the package directions.
  • Without separating the individual rolls, carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a baking dish.
  • Add the butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is completely melted. Stir to combine.
  • Brush some of the garlic butter mixture over the cut side of the bottom half of the rolls.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce evenly over the rolls.
  • Arrange the cooked chicken nuggets over the marinara sauce.
  • Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of marinara sauce over the chicken nuggets.
  • Layer the mozzarella cheese slices over the chicken and sauce.
  • Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls back on top. Brush the remaining garlic butter mixture over the tops of the rolls.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and the sliders are warmed through.
  • Cut into individual chicken marinara sliders and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
