Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup prepared ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried dill
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
Sliders
- 12 slider buns Hawaiian rolls, butter rolls, or potato rolls
Garlic butter topping
- 1/3 cup melted butter salted or unsalted
- 3/4 tsp garlic powder
- minced fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil or parchment paper, and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- If your buns/rolls aren't sliced, follow the next step. If they're pre-sliced, omit the next step.
- Add a package of buns/rolls to your cutting board and using a serrated knife (like a bread knife), carefully slice across them horizontally, keeping one hand on top of the rolls to steady them.
Make filling
- To a large mixing bowl, add all filling ingredients except the chicken (bacon, cheese, ranch, mayo, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and pepper). Stir well to combine.
- Add chicken and toss until well coated.
Assemble sliders
- Keep the buns/rolls connected to each other (on the top and bottom halves). Add the bottom section of the rolls to the prepared baking pan, cut side up.
- Spread the chicken filling evenly over the tops of the cut rolls.
- Add the top sections of the rolls, cut side down.
Make garlic butter topping
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with garlic powder.
- Brush or pour topping over the sliders.
Bake
- Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10 minutes, until as golden brown and crispy as you’d like.
Cool and serve
- Remove from the oven and let sliders sit for about 5 minutes to cool slightly. Cut into individual sliders, sprinkle with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Recipe makes 12 sliders, which you're free to divide into as many servings as you'd like.
- Recipe can be doubled, just use two pans or a large rimmed baking sheet.
