Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • stock pot

Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ounce dry ranch dressing mix
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • ⅓ cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 2½ cups cooked, shredded chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 12 ounces cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 2½ cups mild shredded cheddar cheese divided: 1 cup and 1 ½ cups
  • 12 count sweet Hawaiian Rolls sliced in half
  • 6 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Set it aside.
  • Add the cream cheese to a 4 – 5 quart heavy bottom stock pot over medium heat. Stir often until the cream cheese is melted.
  • Sprinkle the ranch mix, onion powder and cracked black over the melted cream cheese. Stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the green onion, shredded chicken, crumbled bacon and 1 cup of shredded cheddar. Stir until completely incorporated.
  • Place the bottom rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the chicken ranch mixture evenly over the bottom rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Lay the top rolls over the shredded cheese.
  • Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter over the top rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the buttered rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the chopped chives over the parmesan layer.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 – 8 minutes, until golden. Remove from the oven and allow the sliders to rest for 5 minutes before cutting the individual servings.

Notes

For extra spice, consider adding hot sauce to the chicken mixture. These sliders can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving. They are great for parties, game day, or as a quick weeknight meal.
