Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 8 frozen chicken tenders
  • ▢8 slider buns
  • ▢8 slices Mozzarella cheese
  • ▢¾ cup of Marinara sauce
  • ▢16 green olives stuffed with pimento

Instructions
 

  • First thing you'll need to do is remove the chicken tenders from the freezer and cook them as directed in their packaging.
  • While the chicken tenders are cooking, prepare your cheese slices. Using a pairing knife cut the edges of your cheese to look like sharp teeth.
  • Prepare your green olive eyes by skewering one olive on a toothpick. You'll need two olives per slider to make the monster eyes.
  • Then, warm your marinara over medium heat until simmering.
  • Once your chicken tenders are cooked and out of the oven, begin assembling your sliders.
  • On the bottom slider bun, place about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce.
  • over the marinara, place your hot chicken tender.
  • Over your chicken tender add additional marinara if desired.
  • Then, place your mozzarella cheese and be sure that the "teeth" part of the cheese is facing forward.
  • Place the top bun on the sandwich and then skewer two olives onto the top bun to make the monster.
  • Serve immediately to your little goblins

Notes

Not a chicken parm fan? Opt instead for a bacon, cheddar and bbq sauce slider.
Want a spicy buffalo and blue cheese version? Swap the your marinara sauce and mozzarella for buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles. Add fresh jalapeño slices for an extra kick.
I definitely recommend carving the details on the cheese slices ahead of time to save yourself the trouble before your gathering. The cheese slices can be carved upto 3-4 days in advance as long as they're being kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
I also recommend preparing your Spanish olives ahead of time. Once your olives are ready with their toothpicks, you can place them in an airtight container and keep in the refrigerator until ready to use.
