Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders Recipe
Ingredients:
12 slider rolls (e.g., Hawaiian rolls, or any soft dinner rolls)
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
6 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon pepper
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Assemble the Sliders:
Slice the slider rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.
Place the bottom half of the slider rolls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Spread the shredded chicken evenly over the bottom half of the rolls.
Drizzle ranch dressing over the chicken.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the ranch layer.
Top everything with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly across the sliders.
Place the top half of the rolls over the chicken, bacon, and cheese.
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and pepper.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the slider rolls.
Bake the Sliders:
Cover the sliders loosely with aluminum foil to prevent the tops from over-browning.
Place the sliders in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow the tops to turn golden and crispy.
Serve:
Remove the sliders from the oven and let them cool slightly before slicing into individual sliders.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Optional Add-Ons:
Add a few slices of avocado or tomatoes to the sliders for extra flavor.
You can also sprinkle some red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
