Put these ingredients on Hawaiian rolls for cheesy chicken sliders that come out creamy, buttery, and gone before the tray cools.
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat & Prep:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9×13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 📄
- Slice the Hawaiian Rolls:
- Using a long serrated knife, slice the entire block of Hawaiian rolls horizontally in half so you have one large top slab and one large bottom slab. 🔪
- Place the bottom half of the rolls into your prepared baking dish.
- Make the Creamy Chicken Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and dry ranch seasoning together until smooth and creamy. 🥣
- Fold in the shredded cooked chicken and sliced green onions until evenly coated. 🍗🧅
- Layer the Sliders:
- Spread the creamy chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Top with an even layer of shredded cheddar cheese and chopped crispy bacon. 🧀🥓
- Cover & Brush with Butter:
- Place the top slab of Hawaiian rolls over the filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and garlic powder. Brush generously over the tops of the rolls. 🖌️
- Bake to Golden Perfection:
- Cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. ⏲️🔥
- Garnish & Serve:
- Sprinkle fresh chopped chives or parsley over the warm top rolls.
- Slice into individual sliders and serve immediately while hot and melty! 😋
