The hardest part pf this recipe is going to be waiting for it to be done. Once you take the foil off the baking dish in the second 10 minutes of cooking, the delicious aroma of melting cheese, baked chicken, pasta sauce and garlic is going to announce that this dish is almost ready. People will start migrating toward that tantalizing smell.

Be prepared for the onslaught of hungry folks, clamoring to get a couple of these sliders on their plate. Grab a couple for yourself before you start handing them out to others, or you might miss out. Maybe you should double the recipe!

 

INGREDIENTS

1 slider buns

1 lb. breaded chicken tenders, pre-cooked (weight is appx.)

2 cups pasta sauce

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded

½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded

3 Tbsp. butter, melted

1 tsp garlic powder (more to taste)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Place the bottom half of the slider buns in a greased casserole dish.

Place cooked chicken tenders on the bottom buns and then cover them in sauce.

Combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the sauce.

Place the top buns on the sliders.

Melt the butter and mix in the garlic powder until it is thoroughly combined (feel free to add more garlic powder if you like garlic as much as I do!). Pour the melted butter over the buns and then sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 10 minutes.

Let the dish rest 5 minutes, then cut apart the slider buns. Enjoy!

Quick Tip:  If you cannot find shredded Parmesan cheese at your local market, you could use the grated type in the shaker container. In that case, instead of mixing it with the mozzarella, put the mozzarella cheese on first, and then sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Although the taste will be nearly the same, you will want to use more mozzarella cheese to make up for the lost volume in using grated versus shredded Parmesan cheese.
