# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Prepare frozen Southern-style chicken breast tenderloins according to the package directions, typically baking at 425°F for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce temperature to 350°F.
02 -
Place bottom halves of slider buns into a 9x13-inch baking dish, then spread half of the marinara sauce evenly over them.
03 -
Arrange cooked chicken tenderloins in a single layer over the sauced buns, covering as much surface as possible.
04 -
Spread the remaining marinara sauce on top of the chicken, then layer the mozzarella slices evenly over the sauce.
05 -
Place the top halves of the slider buns onto the assembled layers. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic salt, and dried parsley flakes. Brush half of this mixture over the bun tops.
06 -
Bake sliders at 350°F for 13-15 minutes, or until cheese melts and bun tops become lightly toasted.
07 -
Remove sliders from oven and brush remaining butter mixture over bun tops. Sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly across. Slice into 12 servings.
# Additional Notes:

For even cooking, ensure chicken tenderloins are evenly spaced and not overlapping during baking.
