- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
- Kosher salt
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
- 2 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

Instructions
- Prepare chicken tenders according to package instructions. Let cool slightly, then cut any large tenders into 2" pieces.

- Meanwhile, in a medium heatproof bowl, microwave garlic, butter, and red pepper flakes (if using) in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until butter is melted, about 1 minute total; season with salt.
- Layer bottom buns with half of mozzarella. Sprinkle with basil and half of Pecorino. Top with chicken, sauce, and remaining mozzarella. Close with top buns. Brush buns with half of garlic butter.
- Bake sliders until warmed through and buns are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Brush tops with remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle with remaining Pecorino. Serve with more sauce alongside.
