Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Assemble the Sliders:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, keeping the top and bottom halves intact.
- Place the bottom half of the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom rolls.
- Place the top half of the rolls on top of the chicken mixture.
- Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, poppy seeds, dried minced onion, and dried parsley until smooth.
- Bake the Sliders:
- Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the assembled sliders.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the sliders are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Allow the sliders to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
- You can use rotisserie chicken to save time.
- These sliders are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
