Ingredients
-
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp onion powder
-
1 tsp paprika
-
½ tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 cup ranch dressing
-
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
12 slider buns
-
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Prepare Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook them in a skillet over medium heat for 6-7 minutes per side until no longer pink.
-
Shred Chicken: Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks.
-
Mix with Ranch: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ranch dressing and crumbled bacon.
-
Assemble Sliders: Place the bottom halves of the slider buns in a baking dish. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each bun and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place the top halves of the buns on top.
-
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
-
For extra flavor, consider adding sautéed onions or fresh spinach to the sliders.
-
You can swap the mozzarella for cheddar or your favorite cheese.
-
For a quicker option, use rotisserie chicken for the filling.
-
If you want a crispy topping, bake the sliders without foil for the last 5 minutes.
