  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders 1x

Description

Crack Chicken Sliders are the ultimate comfort food in bite-sized form. Tender shredded chicken, crispy bacon, melty cheddar, and creamy ranch seasoning come together in sweet Hawaiian rolls, baked to golden perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 oz dry ranch dressing mix
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion
  • 2 1/2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
  • 12 oz cooked, crumbled bacon
  • 2 1/2 cups mild shredded cheddar cheese (1 cup + 1 1/2 cups)
  • 12-count sweet Hawaiian rolls, sliced in half
  • 6 tbsp salted sweet cream butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Melt cream cheese in a heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium heat, stirring often. Add ranch mix, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and combined. Remove from heat.
  3. Add green onions, shredded chicken, bacon, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Stir until well blended.
  4. Lay bottom halves of rolls in the baking dish. Spread chicken mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese. Place top halves of rolls on top.
  5. Brush tops with melted butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and chives. Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 5-8 minutes until golden.
  6. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make ahead and refrigerate before baking. Store leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in oven for best texture.
