Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders
This Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders recipe is a crowd-pleaser that combines the crispy goodness of bacon, the juicy tenderness of chicken, and the creamy tang of ranch dressing, all nestled between soft slider buns.
Equipment
- Serrated bread knife
- Small mixing bowl
- Pastry Brush
Ingredients
- 12 Slider rolls, 1 (12-count) package, such as King's Hawaiian
- ½ cup Ranch dressing
- 12 Colby Jack cheese slices
- 12 slices Bacon, cooked and crisp
- 1 pound Deli chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Salted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Without separating the individual rolls, slice the slider rolls in half horizontally using a serrated bread knife, keeping the tops and bottoms intact.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Spread half of the ranch dressing evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Layer 6 slices of Colby Jack cheese over the ranch, followed by the cooked bacon and sliced deli chicken. Top with the remaining 6 cheese slices, then drizzle the remaining ranch dressing evenly over the cheese.
- Place the tops of the rolls over the filling.
- In a small mixing bowl, stir together the melted butter, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture evenly over the tops of the rolls.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
- Let the sliders rest for about 5 minutes before slicing apart and serving.
Christina's Notes
Keeping the rolls connected while assembling makes layering much easier and helps everything stay together while baking.
Rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken works well in place of deli chicken.
Add sliced pickles, jalapeños, avocado, or thinly sliced tomatoes for extra flavor and texture.
Stir a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese into the butter mixture before brushing it over the rolls for an extra savory topping.
Assemble the sliders up to 24 hours in advance, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Brush with the butter mixture just before baking.
Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving if possible to help keep the rolls from becoming soggy.
