WHY YOU'LL LOVE CHICKEN BACON RANCH SLIDERS

Family-Friendly: I love how versatile these chicken bacon ranch sliders are, because these make a great appetizer option for a summer cookout, or an easy weeknight dinner. I love making these when we host game day parties as well, because they are a crowd favorite!

Quick & Easy: This easy dinner recipe can be ready in less than 30 minutes. I love using rotisserie chicken when I'm needing to trim down prep time, making this even better for those busy weeknights with families.

Delicious: This flavor combination is always a favorite in our home! My kids request these sliders, especially during the summer time, because the flavors are truly the best! We love to add pickles or jalapenos on the sliders for an added crunch.

INGREDIENTS

  • Mini Hawaiian Sliders: The soft and sweet buttery rolls used for this recipe provide the perfect balance for the ranch flavor throughout the dish.
  • Colby Jack Cheese: The smooth-melted colby jack cheese is a great overall crowd favorite for these sandwiches.
  • Rotisserie Chicken: I love using rotisserie chicken for this recipe to speed up prep time, however, you can also make the chicken ahead.
  • Seasonings: The seasonings used include ranch seasoning, italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
  • Bacon: I love using cooked bacon for this recipe to give a great crunch for the sliders. However, bacon bits are a great alternative too
  • Ranch Dressing: I like using Ken's Ranch dressing for this recipe, but you can easily swap in your favorite ranch dressing.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Chicken: You can easily replace the rotisserie chicken with premade chicken in this recipe.

Cheese: For best results, add a layer of cheese before the chicken mixture to keep the bread from getting soggy.

Leftovers: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days So, it may not have the same texture as it would when it is first made.
