Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Without separating them, slice the slab of rolls horizontally into two halves (see note 1). Melt the butter; let cool.
Mix chicken with ranch dressing until well coated.
Place the bottom half of the rolls in the prepared pan. Brush 2-1/2 tablespoons of melted butter onto the cut sides of both the top and bottom halves of the rolls.
Layer half the cheese over the bottom half of the rolls. Evenly distribute the saucy chicken over the cheese. Sprinkle bacon evenly on top. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake without the top half of the rolls for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add the top slab of rolls. Use a pastry brush to spread the remaining butter mostly on the top of the rolls, but also a bit all over the sides. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for another 5–10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.
Cut into individual sliders and serve hot. Enjoy with extra ranch for dipping if desired!

Notes

Note 1: Keep the rolls intact and slice in half horizontally.

Note 2: Nothing beats this amazing Kerrygold® garlic butter! However, a homemade blend of 7 tablespoons butter mixed with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper will do the trick.

Storage: Let sliders cool completely to room temperature, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave before serving.
