What the heck are "savory butter rolls"? I thought Hawaiian rolls were sweet?

King's Hawaiian Rolls (famous for their Hawaiian sweet rolls) make these delicious rolls that aren't as sweet and are, well, more savory and buttery. They work really well, but if you can't find them you can use the sweet rolls - the flavor will just be different.

Can I make the Parmesan cheese sauce first?

I have thought deeply on this and I recommend waiting to make the sauce. It thickens as it stands, so it's best to make it and get it on the sandwiches so it's not sitting around too long. So, assemble the bottom two layers, make the sauce, and finish assembling.

Do I HAVE to make the cheese sauce? Is there a shortcut?

Yes, you can use jarred Alfredo sauce it you prefer. I like Bertolli organic Alfredo sauce. You don't need to heat it up first - just spoon it over the marinara straight from the jar.

Why are you obsessed with rotisserie chicken?

The convenience of it, man. That said, feel free to substitute any kind of shredded cooked chicken that is either seasoned with Italian seasoning or plain with just salt and pepper.

Ingredients

Scale

1 package savory butter rolls Hawaiian rolls (see note)
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
1 cup marinara sauce
4 ounces Parmesan cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 slices low-moisture mozzarella cheese, sliced into strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Slice the rolls in half through cross-wise the middle so you have a top and bottom piece. Place the bottom piece on a baking sheet and spread the chicken on top. Spoon the marinara sauce on top of the chicken.
Place the Parmesan cheese and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Toss them together so the cornstarch coats the cheese. Add the cream and oregano and turn the heat to medium. Cook the mixture until the cheese melts and the sauce is thickened and smooth about five minutes.
Spoon the sauce on top of the marinara sauce. Lay the cheese strips over the top of the cheese sauce.
Place the baking sheet in the pan (without the top roll piece) and bake the sandwiches for five minutes or until the mozzarella cheese is melted.
While the sandwiches bake, mix the olive oil with the garlic powder in a small bowl. Remove the sandwiches from the oven and place the top roll piece on top. Brush the garlic oil on top and bake the sandwiches for 5 to 10 minutes or until the top of the rolls are toasted.
Use a serrated knife to slice into sandwiches and serve hot.

Notes

If you can’t find the savory butter rolls you can sub the sweet Hawaiian rolls.
