  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 12 sliders

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 12 ounce package Hawaiian sweet rolls
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons ranch dressing mix, divided
  • 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350° F to prepare for baking the sliders.
  2. Prepare Chicken Mixture: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken, chicken broth, and all but 1 teaspoon of the ranch dressing mix. Stir frequently.
  3. Melt Cream Cheese: Add the cream cheese to the pot and continue heating, stirring often until the cream cheese is fully melted and mixture is smooth.
  4. Add Cheese and Green Onions: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sliced green onions and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  5. Slice Rolls: Using a bread knife, carefully slice the entire package of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally. Do not separate the individual rolls.
  6. Assemble Bottom Layer: Place the bottom half of the rolls in a casserole dish or on a baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle half of the remaining shredded cheese evenly on the bottom half.
  7. Add Chicken Mixture: Spread the prepared chicken mixture evenly over the cheese on the bottom layer.
  8. Top Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken mixture.
  9. Add Top Layer of Rolls: Carefully place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls over the cheese layer to close the sliders.
  10. Finish with Butter and Seasoning: Brush the melted butter evenly over the tops of the rolls and sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of ranch dressing mix on top.
  11. Bake: Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted. If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 7-8 minutes.
  12. Slice and Serve: Remove from oven, slice the sliders individually into 12 portions, and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Do not separate the Hawaiian rolls before slicing horizontally, as it keeps the sliders intact for easier assembly.
  • If you want a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the chicken mixture.
  • Covering with foil during baking prevents the tops from burning while allowing the cheese to melt completely.
  • Serve these sliders as appetizers, party snacks, or a quick meal with a side salad or veggies.
  • The recipe can be made ahead by preparing the chicken mixture and assembling the sliders, then baking just before serving.
