Servings 12 sliders
Ingredients
- 1 12-count package Hawaiian sweet rolls
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 slices bacon cooked crisp and crumbled
- ⅔ cup ranch dressing divided
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 green onions thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms connected. Place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked bacon, and ½ cup ranch dressing. Stir until everything is evenly coated. If needed, add another tablespoon or two of ranch to keep the mixture creamy.
- Spread the remaining ranch dressing over the cut side of the bottom rolls.
- Sprinkle about 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the ranch layer.
- Evenly spread the chicken mixture over the cheese.
- Top with the remaining cheddar cheese, then place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over everything.
- In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Brush the mixture generously over the tops of the rolls.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are golden brown.
- Let the sliders rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with sliced green onions, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes
Storage:
- Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and foil, or transferred to an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them wrapped in foil at 350° for 10-15 minutes until heated through.
- Freeze leftovers the same way, where they'll keep for up to one month. Thaw sliders in the fridge overnight before reheating and serving again.
- Prep and make these sliders ahead of time: assemble up to a day in advance and cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil, then store in the fridge. When ready to serve, brush the tops with the melted butter mixture and bake.
