  • 6 pcs slices provolone
  • 1 ½ cups marinara sauce

  • Fresh basil, optional

Instructions
 

  • Mix it
    Warm marinara with a pinch of chili flakes for glossy, camera-ready sauce.
  • Layer it
    Slit buns horizontally; add provolone, chicken halves, marinara, and shredded mozz.
  • Smash it
    Press the top buns down gently for that tight, stacked slider look.
  • Crisp it
    Brush with garlic butter + Italian seasoning; bake until tops are golden.
  • Plate it pretty
    Slice, lift with parchment, drizzle extra sauce, and hit with fresh basil.
  • Serving Suggestions
    Shoot the cheese pull in slow motion. Add a basil leaf for a green pop. Use a white plate for contrast. Drizzle extra sauce from a height for max drama.

Notes

Swap chicken patties for homemade cutlets. Sub brioche for extra richness. Add pepperoni for spicy vibes.
