Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
In a skillet, cook the bacon until it’s crispy. Once done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain the excess grease.
Step 3: Prepare Chicken
In the same skillet, add the shredded chicken and ranch dressing. Stir until the chicken is well-coated and heated through.
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Chop the cooked bacon and mix it with the ranch chicken mixture.
Step 5: Assemble the Sliders
Slice the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves in a baking dish. Spoon the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the bottom halves of the buns.
Step 6: Add Cheese
Top the chicken and bacon mixture with shredded cheese before placing the top halves of the buns on top.
Step 7: Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove the foil for the last few minutes to allow the cheese to melt and become bubbly.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once done, remove the sliders from the oven, slice them apart, and serve warm.
