Chicken parm sliders

Chicken parm sliders...better, cheaper, faster.   All recipes will be a variation of another recipe made better:  because it is less caloric or has less fat etc.  cheaper :  because less expensive ingredients are used or a variation of ingredients , faster beacause they are made more efficiently.  


Serves  4 people, with 2 sliders each

1 package of hogie rolls.  **
1 large or 2 small chicken breasts, cooked and cut thin.
3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese (shreds )
1/2 cup or amount needed of pizza sauce.

1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
2T parmesean cheese
1/8 tsp parsley and/or basil

Cut four hogie rolls in half crosswise to make approximate squares.
Place roll bottoms in a greased baking sheet or pan.
Place cheese over roll bottoms.
Bake at 375 until the cheese has melted.  3-5 minutes

Layer rolls with
Brushed sauce (use pastry brush)
Chicken slices,
More sauce
Cheese.  
Place tops of rolls on bottoms.  

Stir spices and cheese into melted butter .

Brush tops of sliders with melted butter sauce

Bake in oven 20-25 minutes.   Or until tops are browned and cheese is melted , sliders are heated through.  

**. Dinner rolls are the preferred bread, but they are twice as expensive as cutting a hoagie roll in half. (1.99).  It would be cheaper if you made dinner rolls from scratch.   There should be two rolls left over for another meal.  

Using chicken sliced thin is cheaper and better carb wise than using a ready made chicken tender.  Chicken can be cooked from frozen or not in the insta pot.  It might taste good if it was dipped in the butter sauce.  

Using part of a pizza sauce jar is more economical because there is no waste.   The remaining sauce can be frozen for a future pizza.

Using shredded mozzarella is cheaper and less work because it will melt faster and it is already in your stock because of making pizzas.
