Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the Bacon
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until it is crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
Shred the Chicken
Using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, shred enough to yield approximately two cups of shredded chicken.
Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ranch dressing and half of the sliced green onions. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
Assemble the Sliders
Slice the dinner rolls in half horizontally. Place the bottom halves of the rolls in a greased baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture over the bottom halves of the rolls.
Add Bacon and Cheese
Crumble the cooked bacon over the chicken mixture. Then, sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese on top.
Top with Roll Halves
Place the top halves of the dinner rolls over the cheese and bacon.
Prepare the Butter Mixture
Melt some butter in a small bowl. Mix in garlic powder and the remaining green onions. Brush this mixture over the top of the slider rolls.
Bake the Sliders
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the sliders cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
