Ingredients:

  • 1 pack (12 count) Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 1 lb pre-cooked chicken
  • 1 cup thick marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a serrated knife, slice the entire slab of connected slider buns in half horizontally to create one large top piece and one large bottom piece.
  3. Place the bottom bun slab into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Evenly distribute 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the bottom buns to create a moisture barrier.
  5. Layer the pre-cooked chicken atop the cheese, cutting pieces to fit the bun size if necessary.
  6. Spoon the marinara sauce over the chicken, spreading it carefully to the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, oregano, and red pepper flakes over the sauce.
  8. Place the top bun slab over the fillings and press down gently.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and onion powder.
  10. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the buns generously with the garlic butter glaze.
  11. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the tops are a deep golden brown.
  12. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual servings.
