Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts ( cut into twelve 1/2-inch steaks)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons fresh cracked black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 ounces grated fresh parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 12 Hawaiian dinner rolls (or other slider buns)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place rolls (keep them attached) on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut rolls in half lengthwise (without breaking rolls apart). Open rolls and place tops on one side of a baking sheet and bottoms on the other side, cut-side up.
  • Melt butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, then stir in garlic powder. Brush butter on insides of top and bottoms of bread. Bake bread for 8-10 minutes, or until bread is lightly golden brown.
  • Prepare chicken by slicing the thickest part of the breast about ½” thick. Cut the thinner part of the breast into pieces slightly larger than the individual rolls.
  • Meanwhile, warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 of salt and 1/2 of pepper. Cook until browned, flip and cook until cooked through, about 8 minutes total.
  • Remove bread from oven. Carefully remove top halves of rolls and place on a plate. Set aside. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the bottom halves. Top with cooked chicken pieces. Drizzle each chicken piece with about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. Bake 5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Place top halves back on chicken. Cut into sliders, serve and enjoy!
