There’s just something comforting about a warm tray of sliders fresh from the oven. These little sandwiches have become a go-to in my kitchen whenever I need something easy, crowd-pleasing, and a little bit indulgent. The creamy chicken, the smoky bacon, that hint of ranch… all tucked inside soft Hawaiian rolls — it’s the kind of simple pleasure that never disappoints, whether you’re feeding family or hosting friends.
Ingredients:
- 12 Hawaiian rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken, gently shredded
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices of bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Without pulling the rolls apart, slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally and set the bottom half into a baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, cheddar, bacon, and green onions until everything is nicely coated.
- Spoon this mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls.
- Gently place the top half of the rolls back on.
- Brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle on the poppy seeds.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, just until the tops turn beautifully golden.
- Let the sliders rest for a moment before serving — they’re easier to handle once they cool slightly.
