Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 8 slider buns
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Prepare the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch seasoning, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and crumbled bacon. Mix thoroughly until all the flavors are evenly combined. - Assemble the Sliders
Lay the bottom halves of the slider buns on a baking sheet. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each bun, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken mixture. - Top and Brush the Sliders
Place the top halves of the slider buns over the filling. Brush the melted butter over the tops of the buns, then sprinkle with garlic powder for an added punch of flavor. - Bake the Sliders
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the sliders for 15–20 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. - Serve and Enjoy
Remove the sliders from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. These sliders are best enjoyed fresh, but they’re so good, there likely won’t be any leftovers anyway!
Tips for Perfect Sliders:
- Use Rotisserie Chicken: Save time by using store-bought rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
- Crispy Bacon Hack: Bake your bacon in the oven for evenly cooked, crispy strips that crumble easily.
- Cheese Variations: Try mixing in mozzarella or pepper jack for a gooey, flavorful twist.
