👨🍳 How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders
🔪 Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
🍞 Step 2: Slice the Rolls
Without separating the individual rolls, slice the whole sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally to create a top and bottom layer.
Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
🍗 Step 3: Build the Layers
Spread shredded chicken evenly across the bottom layer.
Drizzle evenly with ranch dressing.
Sprinkle over bacon bits and then shredded cheddar.
Place the top half of the rolls back on.
🧈 Step 4: Butter Topping
Mix melted butter with garlic powder, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
Brush this mixture generously over the top of the rolls.
🔥 Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 5–7 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and cheese is melted.
