Cut chicken into thin pieces after butterflying and flattening it. Adjust pieces to fit the buns.

Bake the frozen mozzarella sticks in the oven for about 7 minutes at 450°F.
06 -
Fry the breaded chicken in a pan with butter and oil. Cook each side for around 4 minutes until golden brown.
07 -
Layer the buns with pieces of chicken, dollops of marinara sauce, mozzarella sticks, and slices of provolone.

Combine melted butter with garlic powder, sea salt, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mix on top of the buns.

Cover the sliders and bake at 350°F for 8 minutes. Take off the cover and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes.
# Notes:

If you don't have buttermilk, you can mix milk and sour cream as a substitute.
