HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN PARM SLIDERS STEP-BY-STEP:

Check out the quick visual guides below. For full instructions and ingredients, see the printable recipe card at the end.

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish and set aside.

STEP 2: Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally without separating them. Place the bottom half of the slider buns in the prepared dish.

STEP 3: In a large bowl, mix shredded rotisserie chicken, marinara sauce, Parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the rolls. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese slices on top.

STEP 4: Place the top of the slider buns back on. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt to create the butter mixture.

STEP 5: Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the buns. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the sliders are golden and the cheese is melted.

STEP 6: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve warm.

PRO TIP:

For extra crispness, broil the sliders for 1-2 minutes after baking to get the tops golden and toasty!
