Keto Chicken Parmesan Sliders

Step by Step Instructions

   Prepare the chicken tenders according to the package instructions, cooking to 165°F. Let cool slightly, then cut into roughly 2-inch pieces if needed to fit the rolls.

   • 1 pound breaded chicken tenders

   Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Place still-attached rolls on a cutting board. Cut buns in half parallel to the cutting board, keeping them attached. Place bottom buns on a parchment-lined baking sheet or casserole dish, cut side up. Bake the bottom buns until just starting to get crispy (3-5 minutes).

   • 1 package low-carb slider rolls
