Instructions
- 01
PREP OVEN AND PANS: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside a large skillet for cooking the chicken.
- 02
PREP ROLLS: Place 12 Hawaiian rolls or slider buns on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, slice the rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom halves cut-side up on one side of the prepared baking sheet and the top halves cut-side up on the other side.
- 03
MAKE GARLIC BUTTER: Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Stir in 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Brush the cut sides of both the tops and bottoms of the rolls with the garlic butter.
- 04
TOAST ROLLS: Bake the rolls for 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly golden and toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on.
- 05
SEASON CHICKEN: Sprinkle both sides of 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into twelve ½-inch cutlets with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper.
- 06
COOK CHICKEN: Heat 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in the large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The chicken should feel firm and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 07
ASSEMBLE SLIDERS: Sprinkle 3 ounces grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the toasted bottom halves of the rolls. Top with the cooked chicken pieces, trimming if needed so each slider is evenly filled.
- 08
ADD SAUCE AND CHEESE: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of 3/4 cup marinara sauce over each piece of chicken. Sprinkle 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded evenly over the top.
- 09
BAKE: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- 10
FINISH AND SERVE: Place the top halves of the rolls back on the sliders. Cut into individual sliders and serve warm.
