Ingredients
For the sliders
- 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls separated
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup ranch dressing plus more if desired
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
For the garlic butter topping
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese powdered or grated
Instructions
- Get prepped: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate 12 slider buns or Hawaiian rolls and place the bottom halves on the prepared sheet.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast with 1 cup ranch dressing until well coated.
- Assemble the sliders: Spoon chicken mixture evenly onto the bottom halves of the buns. Sprinkle with crumbled 8 slices cooked bacon, then top with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Place top buns over the cheese.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine melted 1/2 cup butter, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried parsley, and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Stir well.
- Brush and bake: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the buns. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm. Add extra ranch for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Separate the buns before assembly so they are easier to serve.
- Add extra ranch to the chicken if you want a creamier filling.
- Brush garlic butter over the tops right before baking for maximum flavor.
- For extra crispy tops, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture.
