Ingredients
- 12 Hawaiian sweet rolls (or slider buns)
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Optional Swaps & Add-Ins
- Use pepper jack or mozzarella for a different cheese flavor

Directions
- Preheat Oven
Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Prep the Rolls
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves connected. Place the bottom half in the baking dish. - Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing until well combined. - Assemble the Sliders
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns. Add the top buns. - Butter the Tops
Stir garlic powder into melted butter and brush over the tops of the rolls. - Bake to Perfection
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake for another 5 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and crispy. - Finish & Serve
Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Slice and serve warm!
Tips for Success
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time
- Cook bacon until crispy for best texture in every bite
- Let them cool slightly before slicing for neater servings
- Double the batch—they’ll go faster than you think!
