Notes
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Step 2: Prepare the Rolls
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the tops and bottoms intact. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in the prepared baking pan.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Ranch dressing, crumbled bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly coated and combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Sliders
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the rolls in the baking pan. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture, ensuring every bite will have cheesy goodness. Place the top halves of the rolls on top to complete the sandwiches.
Step 5: Add the Garlic Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder. Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the tops of the rolls, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
Step 6: Bake the Sliders
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. This allows the cheese to melt and the filling to heat through.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the foil and serve the sliders warm. These bite-sized sandwiches are best enjoyed straight from the oven while the cheese is perfectly gooey.
