Today, I’m sharing a slider recipe with you all that has one of my favorite flavor combinations – chicken, bacon and ranch.
I love having cooked, shredded chicken on hand all the time for easy recipes like this one. By using chicken that is already cooked ahead of time, these Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders come together fast and easy and will be ready for dinner in no time.
I’m going to bet that you’ll be a lover of these Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders. Super easy, crowd pleasing, and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
- Chicken: I love keeping cooked, shredded chicken on hand (it freezes well!), but you can also use a rotisserie chicken.
- Ranch Dressing: You can use homemade ranch dressing or store bought.
- Butter Rolls: These will come in a 12-pack. I usually get the King’s Hawaiian brand, but I like the butter rolls for these versus the Hawaiian rolls. But it’s really personal preference.
- Cheese: I like to use freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese, Feel free to change up the cheese, though.
- Bacon: You can cook your bacon in strips, or sometimes I will dice the bacon and then cook it in a skillet.
- Butter: I like to use unsalted butter.
- Ranch Seasoning: This is the dry ranch seasoning that comes in a packet, or you can make a homemade ranch seasoning.
- Parmesan Cheese: I prefer freshly grated parmesan cheese.
How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders
- Combine the chicken and the ranch and stir until the chicken is coated.
- Cut the rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom half in a baking dish and top with half of the cheese.
- Spread the chicken mixture over the cheese.
- Top with the bacon.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Place the top of the buns over the cheese.
- Melt the butter and stir in the ranch seasoning. Brush this over the top of the rolls.
- Sprinkle the parmesan over the top and bake until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted.
Tips and Tricks
These chicken bacon ranch sliders can be made ahead of time. Simply make them, but do not bake them. Cover with foil and refrigerate. When you are ready to bake them, leave the foil on for about 10 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted.
I’m usually a fan of bacon that isn’t too crispy, but crispy bacon works best in this recipe. Especially because it makes it easier to cut the sliders.
You’ll need a sharp knife when it comes to slice the sliders.
These sliders are pretty messy, so make sure to serve them with napkins!
