Your New Favorite Cheat Code

Consider this the cheat code for a fun and fantastic tasting meal the whole family will love. Chicken nuggets smothered in marinara sauce and melting cheese on scrumptious Hawaiian rolls baked golden and buttery. Easy Chicken Parmesan Sliders are the perfect shortcut to a family-friendly meal or satisfying snack for a hungry crowd.

Perfect for Hungry Kids

I love making these sliders when the kids have friends over. My kitchen might be full of ravenous teens (can you believe I have a TEENAGER NOW?) at a moment’s notice and these sliders are perfect to just pop in the oven. They’re always a huge hit.

Two-bite sliders are guaranteed to hit it out of the park, whether it’s a classic Skillet Sliders, my Grilled Chicken Caesar Sliders or for breakfast, Sausage and Egg Waffle Sliders. Everyone loves to grab a couple and go to town! This recipe makes 12 sliders, but you can always double the recipe to accommodate a hungry bunch.

You want to use generously sized chicken nuggets for this recipe (I like Just Bare, Perdue or Tyson brands). But if you can only find smaller chicken nuggets, place two on each roll so the bottom half of the roll is mostly covered in chicken nugget. So easy!

Ingredients and Supplies

(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)

Ingredients:

• Larger frozen chicken nuggets (Just Bare, Perdue or Tyson brands)
• Hawaiian sweet rolls
• Thick marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
• Shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese blend (or any Italian cheese blend with mozzarella and parmesan in it)
• Unsalted butter, melted
• Garlic salt
• Italian seasoning

Supplies:

• Sheet pan
• Parchment paper
• Small bowl
• Silicon food brush

How to Make Chicken Parmesan Sliders

• Cook chicken nuggets according to package directions.
• Remove and heat oven to 350°F.
• Slice sweet rolls in half and place them a few inches apart on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
• Open each roll so the insides are facing up. Spread a thin layer of sauce on the inside of the bottom half and top half of each roll.
• Place a cooked chicken nugget on the bottom half of each roll. Top each chicken nugget with a little sauce and then a heaping tablespoon of the shredded cheese blend.

• Place the top halves of each roll back on top so that it sits evenly over the cheese on the chicken nugget.
• Melt the butter in a small bowl. Whisk in the garlic salt and Italian seasoning.
• Brush the top of each roll generously with the seasoned butter mixture.

• Bake on the middle rack of the oven until the cheese is melted and the rolls are starting to toast on top, about 10-15 minutes.

Storage

These Chicken Parmesan Sliders are best enjoyed right after baking, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Reheat, covered in foil, in the oven or in a toaster oven at 300°F until heated through, about 5-10 minutes.
