These Halloween Chicken Parm Sliders are spooky, cheesy, and packed with flavor! Juicy chicken, marinara, and melted mozzarella are layered inside slider buns and decorated with olive ‘spider’ toppers for a festive twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls
- 12 breaded chicken tenders (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 6 black olives, halved lengthwise (for spider bodies)
- 6 black olives, sliced thin (for spider legs)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
