Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Pan
- Aluminum Foil
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup Ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 15 pieces Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced in half horizontally
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (for brushing)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (mix with melted butter)
- Parsley, for garnish, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 baking pan and place the bottom half of the sliced Hawaiian rolls inside so they form an even layer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken, Ranch dressing, cooked crumbled bacon, and Parmesan cheese until the mixture is well mixed and evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared baking pan, pressing gently so it adheres to the rolls.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the chicken mixture so every slider will get some melty cheese.
- Place the top half of the rolls on top to form sandwiches, making sure the tops fit snugly.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush the garlic butter evenly over the top of the rolls to ensure a golden, flavorful crust.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the sliders are heated through.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 2 to 3 minutes if you want the tops slightly crisped.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley for color, slice through the rolls to separate sliders, and serve warm.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for speed and flavor; shred it while still warm for the best texture. If you like extra crispiness, toast the roll tops under the broiler for 1–2 minutes after removing the foil, watching closely to avoid burning.
