Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 12 slider buns
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to set the stage for baking your loaded sliders to perfection.
- In a large bowl, combine your shredded chicken with the melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Use a spatula to stir thoroughly until every piece of chicken is coated in that rich, buttery goodness.
- Fold in crumbled bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese into the chicken mixture.
- Carefully cut the slider buns in half and place the bottom halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Generously spoon the chicken mixture onto each bun bottom.
- Brush the tops of the sliders lightly with melted butter, then bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the edges of the buns are crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Upon removing the sliders from the oven, drizzle ranch dressing over the top for added flavor.
- Serve your Loaded Garlic Butter Chicken Bacon Sliders warm and watch as they quickly vanish from the table!
Notes
To store leftover sliders: If you happen to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.
Reheating tips: To keep your sliders warm and crispy, reheat them at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This helps maintain the crunchy exterior while warming the filling.
Meal prep suggestions: Make the chicken filling in advance and store it separately. You can assemble and bake the sliders fresh when you’re ready to eat.
