Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when you need it.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, dry ranch dressing mix, onion powder, black pepper, and thinly sliced green onions. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add Chicken and Bacon: Mix in the cooked, shredded chicken breast and the cooked, crumbled bacon. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Layer Sliders: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and place the bottom layer of Hawaiian rolls in it. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the rolls.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a separate bowl, melt the salted sweet cream butter. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh chives (if using).
- Brush Butter Mixture: Brush the butter mixture generously over the tops of the Hawaiian rolls.
- Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 8 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before cutting it into individual sliders. Serve warm and enjoy the irresistible flavors of Crack Chicken Sliders Casserole!
