Ingredients

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken in olive oil until golden brown (5-7 minutes per side).
3. Slice cooked chicken and layer it on the bottom halves of slider buns in the baking dish. Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
4. Add the top halves of the buns and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes covered; then remove foil and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until bubbly.
5. Serve warm drizzled with extra marinara sauce.
Notes
