I’m always on the hunt for quick and easy dinner recipes for the family! these chicken sliders with hawaiian rolls and chicken nuggets are always a hit, even with my picky eaters.

12 pack Hawaiian rolls 

12 large chicken nuggets (I used grilled chicken for Paul and I!)

1 cup marinara or pasta sauce

6 slices mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp grated parmesan 

1/4 cup melted butter

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1. Cook the chicken according to the package. Set aside to cool a bit.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
3. Cut the Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half without separating the rolls. Then, place the bottoms in your prepared dish and bake for about 3 minutes (just enough to slightly toast the bread so that it doesn’t get soggy).
4. Place a precooked chicken nugget onto each one of the bottom pieces and then top with the marinara followed by the mozzarella cheese. Then place the top halves of the rolls to complete the sandwich.
5. Mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush it evenly over the top and sprinkle with grated parmesan.
6. Cover your dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the buns turn golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the counter for about 5 minutes. They should pull apart easily, but you can also cut them at the separation lines with a sharp spatula or knife if that’s easier.
8. Serve alone or with additional marinara for dipping.

Allow the sandwiches to cool on the counter for at least 5 minutes before serving. They should pull apart easily, but you can also use a sharp spatula or knife to cut them at the separation lines. This recipe makes 12 mini sandwiches. You can always double the recipe if you’re making them for a large family or gathering.
