Notes
Variations
If you want the chicken filling extra creamy, replace the dressing with cream cheese. With an electric mixer, beat an 8-ounce block of softened cream cheese until fluffy and stir in a 1-ounce packet of dry Ranch seasoning.
I love the delicious medley of creamy Swiss and Ranch flavor here but feel free to substitute with cheddar, mozzarella, Muenster, Pepper Jack, or any of your favorite cheese blends.
Brush the bread tops with a mixture of melted butter and Ranch seasoning. You can also sprinkle them, if you like, with dried parsley, Poppy seeds, or sesame seeds for a pop of color.tips
Use a serrated knife to keep the Hawaiian rolls from tearing when cutting into halves.
Grease the baking dish with cooking spray to prevent the sliders from sticking.
If you want more toasted bread, remove the foil during the last one or two minutes and continue to bake uncovered.
How to serve and store
Remove from the oven, cut into serving pieces, and enjoy immediately while they’re hot and bubbly, and OH SO yummy! Enjoy them as a midday snack, party food, or a light meal!
If you have leftovers, individually wrap the sandwiches in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
To reheat, arrange the sliders in a single layer on a baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through. To reheat in the microwave, remove the foil and heat for about 40 to 50 seconds or until warm.
