Ingredients
  

For the Sliders
  • 1 package Frozen Chicken Tenders Swap with grilled chicken breast for a lighter version.
  • 12 count Slider Buns Use whole wheat or gluten-free buns for dietary preferences.
  • 8 ounces Mozzarella Cheese Cheddar or provolone can be used for different flavors.
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce Substitute with BBQ sauce for a smoky touch.
For the Decoration
  • 12 count Green Olives (stuffed with pimento) Black olives can be a substitute for a different visual effect.

Equipment

  • oven
  • Baking sheet
  • small saucepan
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature indicated on the chicken tenders package, typically around 400°F (200°C). Arrange the frozen chicken tenders on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  2. While the chicken cooks, slice mozzarella cheese into rectangular pieces. Use a knife to carve jagged edges into the slices, creating a 'teeth' effect for the sliders.
  3. Take a handful of green olives stuffed with pimento and skewer two olives per toothpick to turn them into monster eyes.
  4. In a small saucepan, pour in your marinara sauce and place over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce simmers, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Begin building your sliders by taking a slider bun and placing it on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of warm marinara sauce on the bottom bun. Layer a crispy chicken tender on top, followed by another spoonful of marinara if desired, then fashion a mozzarella cheese slice with 'teeth' on top.
  6. Place the top bun over your assembled slider. Carefully poke the two olive eyes through the top bun.
  7. Serve warm for maximum enjoyment.
