Arrange the frozen Texas toast slices in a single layer on an air fryer tray or baking sheet.
Spoon a layer of marinara sauce onto each slice of toast.
Place one crispy chicken tender on top of the sauce on each slice.
Top each piece with a slice of provolone cheese.
Sprinkle with dried parsley.
Bake or air fry according to the package directions for the Texas toast, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 4–5 minutes until the cheese is warm and the toast is crisp.
Assemble the toasts on a baking sheet up to 2 hours before baking, then bake when ready. Do not assemble more than 2 hours in advance as the toast will absorb moisture from the marinara.
Bake at 400°F for 8–10 minutes until the provolone is fully melted and lightly golden. Frozen chicken tenders are pre-cooked, so you're heating through and melting the cheese.
Yes. Mozzarella, fontina, or a blend of mozzarella and parmesan work well. Avoid low-moisture cheeses that won't melt evenly.
No. Use them straight from the freezer. They cook through during the baking time because they are pre-cooked; thawing first can dry them out.
Yes. Pre-made garlic bread will work, though it may absorb more sauce. Reduce marinara to 1/4 cup to prevent sogginess.
