Notes
- You can use any sturdy bakery style roll if you can't find ciabatta.
- While the recipe calls for leftover breaded chicken tenders, you could use frozen chicken tenders. If you use frozen tenders, cook them according to the instructions on the package or air fry them at 380 degrees for 11 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- I recommend provolone for flavor but any sliced Italian cheese will work.
