Irresistibly creamy and cheesy sliders filled with shredded chicken, bacon, and ranch seasoning, perfect for game nights or family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cooked shredded chicken, packed but not tight
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet ranch seasoning or 3 tablespoons homemade mix
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 12 slider rolls, preferably buttery or Hawaiian style
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sesame or poppy seeds, optional for topping
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the cream cheese and ranch seasoning. Stir until smooth and melty.
- Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar, bacon, and half the green onions. Warm until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the slider rolls in half and place the bottoms in a baking dish.
- Spread the filling evenly over the bottoms and sprinkle with extra cheddar if desired. Cap with the roll tops.
- Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush over the tops. Sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds if desired.
- Cover loosely with foil and bake for 10 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until tops are golden and the center is hot.
- Scatter the rest of the green onions on top. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
Tips for making sliders: If the filling is too thick, stir in chicken broth or milk. Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melt.
