Baked Chicken Parm Sliders

 

A huge hit with my grandsons!

Ingredients:

1 pkg. (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls

3 cups shredded Rotisserie chicken (1 rotisserie chicken)

3/4 cup marinara sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I use Tillamook brand)

2 tablespoons to 14 cup fresh basil (chopped)

Garlic Butter:

1/2 cup butter, melted

3 garlic cloves, minced; or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried parsley

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.  Do this so that the cheese doesn't stick to the foil.

Using a serrated knife, slice the Hawaiian rolls in half.  Place the bottom half in the prepared baking pan.

Layer the rotisserie chicken over the rolls.  Place the marinara sauce over all of the chicken.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and fresh basil.  

Prepare the garlic butter and brush the mixture all over the rolls allowing some of the butter mixture to drip to the base of the rolls.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted.  Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes.
