Ingredients
Scale
Sliders
- 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 prepare for baking the sliders perfectly.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns evenly in a baking dish to form the base layer for the sliders.
- Layer Ingredients: Evenly layer the shredded chicken, crispy bacon slices, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese over the bottom buns.
- Add Tops and Butter: Place the remaining top halves of the slider buns over the layered ingredients, then brush the tops with melted butter to achieve a golden crust.
- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes to heat through and melt the cheese.
- Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve Warm: Remove the sliders from the oven and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, use smoked bacon or add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the chicken before assembling.
- Feel free to substitute ranch dressing with a spicy ranch or blue cheese dressing for a twist.
- These sliders can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
- For gluten-free sliders, substitute slider buns with gluten-free buns.
