Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 8 slider buns
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 4 slices mozzarella halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly.
  2. Mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Dip tenders in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mix. Place on sheet; drizzle olive oil.
  4. Bake 12–14 minutes until golden and 165°F inside.
  5. Split buns, spoon marinara on bottoms, add a tender and half a mozzarella slice.
  6. Close sliders, brush tops with melted butter, and bake 3–4 minutes more to melt cheese.
  7. Sprinkle parsley if you want. Kids will dive in; I serve with carrot sticks.
