For the Garlic Ranch Butter Topping
- 3 tbsp (42 g) unsalted butter melted
- 2 tbsp (10 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp (2 g) garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp (1 g) ranch seasoning
Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Parchment paper
- Serrated Knife
- Mixing bowl
- Small bowl
- Foil
- Pastry brush
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Use a serrated knife to slice all 12 Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (keep the tops and bottoms attached). Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, chopped bacon, cream cheese (if using), and half of the ranch dressing. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Spread the remaining ranch dressing across the cut sides of both the top and bottom roll halves for extra flavor.
- Spoon the chicken-bacon mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Gently place the top half of the rolls over the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, parsley, and ranch seasoning. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5–10 minutes, until tops are golden and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let sliders rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
You can assemble the sliders up to a day ahead; cover tightly and refrigerate before baking. To reheat leftovers, bake at 300°F, covered with foil, for about 10 minutes. For freezer prep, wrap tightly and thaw overnight before baking. Don't eat pork? Use turkey bacon or a meatless option like sautéed mushrooms. Want it spicy? Add pickled jalapeños or buffalo sauce.
