CHEESY CHICKEN PESTO SLIDERS

 

These are one of my favorite combinations! So when I was in high school, we had a sandwich station and I would always order a chicken, pesto & mozzarella panini! This was my favorite thing so I recreated it but made it on sliders instead! These are perfect to have during the busy weeknight or to make for a crowd! 

Ingredients:

• 12 count original Hawaiian rolls
• 1 rotisserie chicken (shredded)
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley 
• 4 tbsp melted butter 
• 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
• 2/3 cup of basil pesto (store bought or homemade both work!)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Slice your Hawaiian rolls in half 
3. Spray your baking dish with nonstick spray and place your rolls in; remove the top half of the rolls 
4. Spread on your pesto sauce to your bottom rolls and top with shredded chicken and mozzarella 
5. Spread your remaining pesto on the top half of your rolls and lay them on top 
6. In a small bowl combine your butter, parsley, onion & garlic powder and parmesan cheese 
7. Spread your garlic butter mixture on top of your rolls, cover with foil & bake at 375 for 10-15 min
8. Remove foil and bake for another 5-10 min or until the cheese is melted! 
9. Slice them up & enjoy!
