Ingredients

12 Hawaiian rolls
4 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning)
3 cups shredded chicken
4 ounces bacon, cooked to crispy
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175˚C).
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning. Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Add the shredded chicken, crispy bacon crumbles, and cheddar cheese to the mixture. Mix well to combine.
Step 4: Carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally. Place the bottom half of the rolls in a casserole dish in an even layer.
Step 5: Spread the chicken filling evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Then place the top half of the rolls over the filling to form sliders.
Step 6: In a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder and salt.
Step 7: Brush the butter mixture evenly over the top of the rolls using a pastry brush.
Step 8: Bake uncovered for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

For extra gooey sliders, add more cheddar cheese or a sprinkle of mozzarella inside before baking.
Use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut when shredding the chicken.
Try swapping the ranch seasoning for a spicy ranch or adding a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a kick.
Serve with pickles or a side of ranch dressing for dipping.

Storage

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350˚F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual sliders on medium power for 30–60 seconds, but they may be less crispy.

How to Serve

The background is a white marbled texture, softly blurred to keep focus on the sandwich. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
