Crack Chicken Sliders
Description
These Crack Chicken Sliders start by heating cream cheese with ranch seasoning and chicken broth until smooth, then mixing in shredded chicken, crumbled cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, black pepper, and green onions. The flavorful mixture is spread over the bottom halves of Hawaiian rolls in a baking dish, topped with more cheese and the upper halves of the rolls. A butter and garlic salt glaze is brushed over the tops, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and sliced chives before baking.
The result is a soft yet slightly crisp slider with a creamy, cheesy, and savory filling featuring ranch and bacon flavors. Baking covered then uncovered allows the rolls to warm through and brown lightly on top.
They are best served warm, making them suitable for casual meals, parties, or as a hearty snack. The combination of tender chicken and creamy cheese filling with crunchy bacon and the softness of the rolls creates a pleasant contrast.
Using leftover or rotisserie chicken is encouraged for convenience. Letting sliders cool slightly before serving helps stabilize the filling.

Notes

- Allow sliders to cool a few minutes after baking to let the filling firm up slightly for easier serving.
- The garlic butter topping adds flavor and helps crisp the slider tops when baked uncovered.
- Use softened cream cheese for smoother melting and mixing.
