Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 15 Hawaiian sweet rolls, sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Protein and Cheese Toppings:
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Ranch dressing
Seasoning and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish by lightly coating a 9×13 inch pan with cooking spray, ensuring even coverage for easy removal.
- Carefully separate the Hawaiian roll bottoms and arrange them snugly in the prepared pan, creating a uniform base for the sliders.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with creamy ranch dressing, crispy crumbled bacon, and grated Parmesan cheese, blending until ingredients are well incorporated.
- Generously spread the chicken mixture across the roll bottoms, creating an even layer that covers each roll completely.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the chicken mixture, allowing it to cascade between the rolls and create pockets of melty goodness.
- Gently place the roll tops back onto the prepared base, creating a complete slider sandwich.
- Melt butter and infuse it with garlic powder, whisking to create a fragrant and flavorful topping.
- Carefully brush the garlic butter mixture over the roll tops, ensuring each slider is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment for even heating.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese becomes completely melted and the rolls are heated through.
- Remove foil in the last 3-5 minutes of baking to allow the tops to become golden and slightly crisp.
Notes
- Choose pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and enhanced flavor profile.
- Swap ranch dressing with Greek yogurt or low-fat alternatives for healthier version.
- Toast Hawaiian rolls lightly before assembling to enhance crispiness and prevent soggy texture.
- Customize filling by adding diced jalapeños or green onions for extra zest and personalized touch.
