Ingredients
  • 24 ounces frozen breaded chicken tenders
  • 1 package (12 ounces) hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 14 slices provolone cheese, divided
  • 1 jar (24 ounces) marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Prepare chicken tenders according to package directions. Meanwhile, without separating rolls, cut in half horizontally; arrange roll bottoms in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place 8 cheese slices over roll bottoms, overlapping as needed. Bake until cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
  2. Layer rolls with half the sauce, chicken tenders, remaining sauce and remaining 6 cheese slices. Replace top halves of rolls.
  3. For topping, microwave butter, garlic powder and red pepper flakes, covered, on high, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Pour over rolls; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown and heated through, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with basil before serving; if desired, serve with additional marinara sauce.
