💡 Pro Tips

- ✓Toast the cut Hawaiian rolls cut-side down in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before assembly to create a moisture barrier that prevents soggy bottoms from the Alfredo sauce.technique2-3 minutes
- ✓Use a 2:1 ratio of mozzarella to chicken by weight for optimal cheese pull and coverage, ensuring every bite has proper cheese distribution.ingredient2:1 ratio
- ✓Bake sliders at 350°F for exactly 12 minutes covered with foil, then 3 minutes uncovered to melt cheese completely while preventing roll tops from over-browning.timing12 min covered + 3 min uncovered
- ✓Heat Alfredo sauce to 140-150°F before serving to maintain proper viscosity, as cold sauce will be too thick and hot sauce above 160°F will break and separate.technique140-150°F
