Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Line a 13x9 baking dish with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over the sides.
Place bottoms of slider buns into the pan and top with 6 of the cheese slices.
Bake in the oven for 3-5 minutes, just long enough to melt the cheese.
Add 2 chicken nuggets to each bottom bun.
Top with marinara.
Add remaining cheese slices then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
Place top buns on and brush with the melted butter.
Sprinkle with grated parmesan and Italian seasoning.
Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted, sauce is bubbly, and tops of buns are nicely browned.

Notes
The nutrition facts listed are approximate. Please refer to your individual chicken nuggets and marinara sauce for more accurate calculations.
If you prefer, you can leave out the shredded mozzarella cheese. We like our sandwiches extra cheesy, but the slices alone are plenty.
You can easily substitute the chicken nuggets with chicken tenders. Cook them according to package instructions just as you would with the nuggets then slice them into portions small enough to fit into each slider bun (if your tenders are fairly small you can just layer them on top of the buns in the dish and slice them before serving). Continue the rest of the recipe as stated.
Use the parchment paper “handles” to easily lift your sliders out of the pan and onto a cutting board or cooling rack
