Ingredients
- 6 lices Bacon
- 8 ounces cream cheese cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 ounce Ranch dressing mix (1 packet)
- 2 cups chicken chopped or shredded, cooked
- 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese shredded
- ¼ cup green onion thinly sliced
- 12 hawaiian rolls
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Parmesan Cheese grated

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lay bacon on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy. Remove from oven and let cool before chopping. (see note)
- Turn oven to 350 degrees F and place a large pot over medium heat.
- Add cream cheese, chicken broth, and ranch mix to the pot. Cook until cream cheese is melted and mixture is smooth, whisking often.
- Add bacon, chicken, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, and green onions to cream cheese mixture. Stir to mix.
- Cut rolls in half so you have tops and bottoms. Place bottom half of rolls on a baking sheet.
- Spread chicken mixture over roll bottoms. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheddar over the filling. Top with the top half of the buns.
- Melt butter & stir in garlic. Brush over buns. Sprinkle Parmesan and chives over buns.

Notes
- The chicken can be pre-cooked, use rotisserie chicken (skin removed), or bake boneless skinless breasts alongside bacon at 425°F for 18-20 minutes.
- Cutting the cream cheese into small pieces helps it melt smoothly into the sauce.
