Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9x13-inch baking sheet with cooking spray or line with foil or parchment paper, and set aside.
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the cream cheese and stir frequently until smooth. You want it soft enough to mix with the other ingredients, but not completely liquid.
Stir in the ranch mix and onion powder.
Remove from heat. Stir in the green onions, chicken, bacon and 1 cup of shredded cheddar until incorporated.
Set the connected rolls on a flat surface. Place the palm of your hand on the top to hold them still, then use a serrated knife to slice through and separate thr top half from the bottom half. Place the bottom half of the rolls on the baking sheet.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Place the top half of the rolls on top.
Brush the melted butter over the rolls and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the tops are golden.
Rest for 5 minutes before cutting into individual sliders and serving.
Notes
Sliders are best served after baking, but you can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Wrap in foil and reheat in the oven at 350℉ until warmed.When serving at a party, keep sliders in a warm oven (150℉) covered with foil until ready to serve.As the main course then plan on 2-3 sliders per person. If you’re serving the sliders as an appetizer with other appetizer options then plan on 1-2 sliders per person.
