Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders Recipe
This slider recipe is made with shredded chicken, crispy bacon, creamy ranch, and melty cheese all stuffed into sweet Hawaiian rolls that will have everyone begging you for the recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 package Hawaiian rolls (package of 24)
- Spray oil
- 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup ranch dressing plus extra for serving (homemade or storebought)
- 12 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoon dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the entire pack of rolls horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact. Then spray a large baking dish (9” x 13”) with spray oil and place the bottom half of the rolls in the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with the ranch dressing, adding extra ranch dressing if the chicken seems dry. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
- Top the chicken mixture with the crumbled bacon, followed by the cheese. Then, place the top of the rolls on over the filling.
- In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, onion and garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and dried dill. Brush the mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the sandwiches are warmed through.
- Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes, then slice along the roll creases, and serve with additional ranch for dipping.
