Instructions
1- Prepare the Chicken:
- Marinate the chicken thighs with your choice of spices such as salt, pepper, and oregano.

- Slice the Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally.
- Arrange the bottom half in a baking dish.
- Layer with mozzarella cheese slices followed by the sliced chicken thighs.
- Drizzle the prepared sauce generously over the chicken.
- Add another layer of mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place the top half of the rolls back on.
5- Finishing Touches:
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese and dried parsley over the top.
