  • Sharp knife
  • 9x13 baking dish
  • Small bowl

Ingredients

  • 1 20-ounce (1.25-pound) bag Tyson Air Fried Perfectly Crispy Chicken Breast Strips (frozen)
  • 12 dinner rolls (sweet rolls, potato rolls, etc.)
  • 1 ½ cups marinara sauce (divided)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese
  • ⅓ cup butter (melted)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan
  • ¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning blend
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (use more or less to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Place frozen chicken strips on greased baking sheet and bake at 400° for 11 minutes. After 11 minutes, flip chicken strips over and return to oven to bake an additional 9 to 11 minutes.

  • While chicken strips bake, take dinner rolls out of packaging but do not separate them individually. Use sharp knife to slice horizontally through mid-line of rolls, as if making sandwiches. Place bottom halves of rolls in 9x13 baking dish and spread ¾ cup marinara sauce on cut side.

  • Cover chicken strips with remaining marinara sauce, then layer slices of provolone cheese on top, covering as much of chicken as possible. Some cheese overlap is fine. Place top halves of rolls on top of cheese.

Recipe Notes

  • Chicken Strips: I used Tyson Air Fried Perfectly Crispy Chicken Breast Strips for this recipe. You can find them now at Publix!
  • Cheese: Feel free to use a combination of provolone, mozzarella, and/or an Italian cheese blend.
  • If the tops of the rolls are browning faster than the cheese is melting in step 7, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to help retain some of the heat.
  • Make sure the chicken is heated through after step 1. Once the sliders are assembled, they won't be in the oven long enough to finish heating the chicken if it's still frozen at all.
