Ingredient Notes and Variations
- Cheese: Colby jack works well, but cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack are fine alternatives.
- Chicken: Rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken saves time. You can also cook and shred raw chicken or use leftover turkey.
- Rolls: Potato rolls are great, but any soft slider-style rolls or connected buns will work.

Making Ranch Chicken Sliders
Step 1: Slice the rolls into tops and bottoms. Cook bacon until crispy, drain and crumble. Preheat the oven to 400°F and melt butter with garlic powder while the oven heats.
Step 2: Arrange the bottom halves of the rolls on a large baking sheet. Spread a generous layer of ranch dressing on each bottom piece.
Step 3: Pile a generous amount of cooked chicken onto each bottom roll.
Step 4: Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped green onions over the chicken, and drizzle a little more ranch on top if desired.
Step 5: Place a cheese slice on each assembled bottom, then set the roll tops in place.
Step 6: Brush the tops generously with the melted garlic butter. Bake 15–20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and the cheese is melted.
