PREP TIME 15 minutesminutes
COOK TIME 10 minutesminutes
TOTAL TIME 25 minutesminutes
YIELD 12sliders
Ingredients
12frozen breaded chicken tenders or 24 frozen chicken nuggetsbaked according to package directions
Bake the frozen chicken tenders according to the directions on the package. They can be baking while you prepare the buns. When the chicken finishes, adjust your oven temperature to 375°F.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Slice the Hawaiian buns in half like a hamburger bun leaving a connecting piece so they open like a book. Line the buns up on the baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave on HIGH. Stir in the Italian herb blend and garlic salt.
When the chicken is finished baking, add one tender to each slider bun. You may want to cut them in half to nestle more chicken into each bun and avoid having the tips hang out the sides.
Top the chicken with a spoonful of marinara sauce and 1/4 piece of a provolone cheese slice and close each sandwich.
Brush the tops of the sliders with the melted butter mixture.
Bake the pan of sliders for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the tops are toasted. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top and serve immediately.
