Ingredients

1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
2 teaspoons salt divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder divided
3 cups marinara sauce divided
24 slider rolls
8 ounces mozzarella cheese (or provolone) shredded or sliced
½ cup butter melted
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon parsley flakes dried or fresh

Instructions

For the slow cooker chicken:

Place chicken in slow cooker. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Cover with 2 cups of marinara and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6.
Remove chicken from slow cooker and shred with 2 forks. Place in bowl and stir in remaining 1 cup of marinara.

To make sliders:

Slice the buns in half and place bottoms in a baking dish (you may need to use 2 pans). Layer with half the cheese, then the chicken, then remaining cheese and cover with the top half of the buns.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, parmesan, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Pour over sliders. Cover with aluminum foil and let sit for 10 minutes while oven preheats to 350°F.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for about 2-5 minutes, or until the tops are toasted, the cheese is melted and the chicken is hot.
