Chicken nugget parmesan is an “Italian tragedy”. Well, at least that’s what Gordon Ramsey said when I posted a reaction video on social media. Here’s the reaction video. If you’d like to see it. So maybe he didn’t love this recipe but I promise its a good one. Gordon just didn’t get it. This is such a great shortcut version for chicken Parmesan sliders.

Especially for kids. Chicken nuggets are hard for them to resist. Any recipe that’s easy to make and that my kids love too is a win for me. These sliders are so simple to make and perfect for a snack, lunch or even dinner. Everyone always loves these cheesy chicken little sandwiches. I hope you give this chicken nugget parm a try. I know you’ll love it, too.

How To Make It

Heres how to make this fun snack. You can find the full ingredients list along with instructions on the recipe card below.

Preheat the oven to 350°.

First, open your Hawaiian rolls and cut them vertically down the center without separating the individual rolls and place them into a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Add a thick layer of tomato sauce to the bottom half of the rolls and add the mozzarella cheese on top. Add the cooked chicken nuggets.

PRO TIP: Be sure to line them up with the individual rolls as best as you can.

Place them into the center rack of the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the top of the rolls are lightly toasted. Finally, let them cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

NOTE: Keep an eye on the rolls while they're in the oven. The butter can make them burn fast.

Storage

Let the sandwiches cool completely and place them into a food safe air tight container. They will last in the refrigerator for up to three days.
