Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cooked turkey bacon, crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Colby-Jack cheese
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Bread and Seasonings:
- 15 Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F, preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper for even heat distribution.
- Carefully slice dinner rolls horizontally, creating a connected base layer, and arrange them in the prepared baking dish to form a unified foundation.
- Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, mixing thoroughly with ranch dressing, creating a creamy and flavorful protein mixture that will serve as the primary filling.
- Distribute the seasoned chicken evenly across the bottom roll layer, ensuring consistent coverage and maximum flavor in each slider.
- Strategically layer crispy turkey bacon strips over the chicken, adding a smoky and crunchy dimension to the slider composition.
- Gently place the top half of the rolls back onto the layered filling, creating a complete slider structure.
- Melt butter and combine with minced garlic, then brush the mixture generously over the roll tops, enhancing both visual appeal and taste profile.
- Transfer the assembled sliders to the preheated oven, baking for 15-20 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and edges become slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice into individual sliders for serving, ensuring each portion contains a perfect blend of chicken, bacon, and ranch flavors.
Notes
- Swap ground chicken with ground turkey for a leaner protein option that keeps the recipe light and healthy.
- Customize the ranch seasoning by using homemade ranch mix to control sodium and avoid preservatives.
- Choose gluten-free rolls or lettuce wraps to make the sliders suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Add extra vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach to boost nutritional value and create more complex flavor profiles.
