Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
-
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble when cool enough to handle.
-
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut slider rolls in half horizontally. Set tops of rolls aside. Place bottom halves of rolls onto a rimmed baking tray.
-
Add chicken and prepared ranch dressing to a bowl; stir to thoroughly coat chicken. Spread chicken onto slider rolls. Top chicken mixture with cheese and crumbled bacon. Place top halves of rolls on top of filling.
-
Melt butter in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl on High, about 30 seconds. Stir ranch seasoning into butter. Using a pastry brush, brush tops of sliders with ranch butter. Cover rolls with foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until filling is hot, buns are golden, and cheese is melted, about 10 more minutes. Serve immediately.
