Description
Delicious sliders filled with creamy ranch-and-cheddar chicken, crispy bacon, and baked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- 12 slider buns, split
- Butter, melted, for brushing the tops
- Optional: sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if you prefer easier cleanup.
- Combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, shredded cheddar, and chopped bacon in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly incorporated.
- Slice the slider buns in half and arrange the bottom halves on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the bottom bun halves.
- Place the top halves over the filling to assemble the sliders.
- Brush the tops generously with melted butter.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the buns are golden and the cheese has melted. Broil for 1–2 minutes for a crisper top, if desired.
- Let the sliders rest for a couple of minutes, then garnish with green onions and serve warm.
Notes
For variety, substitute ranch seasoning with garlic powder and onion powder. Can use different cheese types or reduce sodium with low-sodium ranch mix.
