Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 8 slices crispy bacon
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the sliders evenly.
- Prepare Slider Buns: Place the bottom halves of the 12 slider buns in a baking dish, creating the base layer for your sliders.
- Layer Ingredients: Evenly spread the shredded chicken over the buns, then add the crispy bacon slices, ranch dressing, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Add Top Buns and Butter: Place the remaining slider bun halves on top of the layered ingredients and brush the tops with melted butter to promote golden browning.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve the sliders warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can use either cheddar or mozzarella cheese based on preference.
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
- If you want a spicier kick, mix some hot sauce into the ranch dressing.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the bake time if baking cold.
- Leftover sliders can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
