Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
Cheese and Dairy:
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
Bread and Seasonings:
- 15 Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced in half
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by greasing a 9×13-inch pan and heating the oven to 350°F, creating an ideal environment for assembling and baking sliders.
- Carefully separate the Hawaiian roll halves, positioning the bottom layers across the greased pan to form a sturdy foundation for the chicken mixture.
- Create a flavorful chicken blend by combining shredded chicken with Ranch dressing, incorporating crumbled turkey bacon and Parmesan cheese, ensuring each ingredient is thoroughly integrated for maximum taste profile.
- Distribute the chicken mixture evenly across the roll bottoms, maintaining a consistent layer that covers the entire surface.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken layer, allowing the cheese to melt and bind the ingredients during baking.
- Gently place the roll top halves over the cheese, transforming the components into cohesive slider sandwiches.
- Craft a rich garlic butter by whisking melted butter with garlic powder, creating a aromatic and flavorful glaze.
- Liberally brush the garlic butter across the roll tops, ensuring complete coverage for enhanced flavor and golden-brown appearance.
- Shield the sliders with aluminum foil, then bake for 15 minutes to melt the cheese and heat the ingredients thoroughly.
- Uncover the sliders and return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tops to achieve a light golden crispness.
- Remove from the oven and allow a brief resting period, then serve warm to maximize flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Customize chicken mix by using rotisserie chicken for extra flavor and convenience.
- Swap turkey bacon with regular bacon or vegetarian bacon alternatives for dietary preferences.
- Toast rolls briefly before assembling to enhance crispiness and prevent sogginess.
- Prepare sliders ahead of time and refrigerate, then bake when ready to serve for meal prep convenience.
