Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

Enjoy chicken bacon ranch sliders, a delicious and easy-to-make snack! Perfect for game day or gatherings, these sliders are always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients
  

  • 12 slider or Hawaiian rolls: These sweet and fluffy rolls serve as the perfect vessel for the ingredients. Their light texture complements the richness of the filling.
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast: This lean protein is the main ingredient providing a satisfying base that’s tender and tasty.
  • 6 slices of crispy turkey bacon crumbled: Swapping out pork bacon for turkey bacon reduces fat while delivering the same satisfying crunch and smoky flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: This cheese contributes a creamy melty texture that binds the ingredients together.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: The sharpness of cheddar adds depth and enhances the savory profile of the sliders.
  • ½ cup ranch dressing: The star of the show ranch dressing adds a tangy creaminess that elevates the entire dish.
  • 2 tbsp melted butter: Brushing the tops of the rolls with melted butter gives a beautiful golden finish and an extra layer of flavor.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder: This enhances the overall taste injecting a robust aroma and depth into the sliders.
  • Fresh parsley for garnish: Not only does this add a pop of color but it also provides a fresh flavor contrast.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures a perfectly baked slider.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease your 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter to prevent the sliders from sticking.
  3. Slice the rolls: Carefully slice the 12 slider or Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, placing the bottom halves in the greased baking dish.
  4. Add the filling: Layer the shredded chicken (2 cups) evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls. Then, drizzle ½ cup ranch dressing over the chicken.
  5. Sprinkle the cheese: Next, add 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken and ranch layer for that melty goodness.
  6. Layer the turkey bacon: Evenly distribute the crumbled 6 slices of crispy turkey bacon over the cheese layer.
  7. Complete the sliders: Place the top halves of the rolls over the filled bottom halves to create mini sandwiches.
  8. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp melted butter and 1 tsp garlic powder. Brush this mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
  9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
  10. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the sliders for an appealing finish. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious sliders!
