Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F and cook frozen chicken sliders according to package directions.
Step 2
Meanwhile make the marinara sauce by adding Red Gold diced tomatoes, Tomato Love diced tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, salt, and pepper into a small saucepan. Simmer for 10 minutes until flavors have combined. Remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Season to taste.
Step 3
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half carefully through the middle and then separate the top half from the bottom half. Spread about ¼ cup of the marinara sauce over the bottom half of the rolls.
Step 4
Top with the cooked chicken tenders and then add another ¼-½ cup of the marinara sauce over top of the tenders.
Step 5
Reduce oven heat to 350°F degrees. Add fresh mozzarella slices on top of the marinara and then place into the oven to melt the cheese, about 10 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil. Cover with the top half of the rolls.
Step 7
Mix melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley together and then lightly brush the tops of the rolls.
Step 8
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and then place into the oven again for another 10-15 minutes until the tops of the rolls are lightly toasted.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and serve with extra marinara sauce.
