Ingredients
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 packet ranch seasoning mix
8 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions
12 slider buns
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch seasoning, chopped bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions until well combined.
3. Slice the slider buns in half horizontally and place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns.
5. Place the top half of the buns over the filling.
6. Stir the melted butter with the garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush it over the tops of the buns.
7. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Remove the foil and bake for 5 to 8 more minutes, until the tops are golden and the filling is hot.
9. Let the sliders rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
These sliders are a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken and come together even faster when the bacon is cooked ahead of time.
Keep the buns connected while assembling so the filling stays evenly spread and the sliders are easier to slice after baking.
For the best texture, reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer instead of the microwave so the tops stay lightly crisp.
