Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These delicious sliders start with chicken breasts that I slow cook with onions, seasonings, ranch mix, and chicken broth until they’re super tender. Then, I shred the chicken and mix it back into the cooking juice along with crispy bacon pieces. Finally, I toast the rolls, make the sliders, top them with melted butter, and bake until the cheese is gooey and melty and the buns are golden. It’s an easy recipe that comes together incredibly quickly once the chicken has cooked. And while the chicken is cooking, I can go on about my day with no babysitting!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch sliders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Making these sliders is just as easy as shopping for the ingredients. The crock pot does most of the work, and when the chicken is done, it only takes a few minutes of prep and less than 10 minutes in the oven to make a plateful of melty, delicious sliders!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Prep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Spray the bottom of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray. Then, cook the bacon until crispy and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Cook the Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Add diced onion to the bottom of the crock pot and place the chicken breasts on top of them. Add the garlic powder, black pepper, and ranch seasoning, then pour in chicken brock and cover with the lid. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or until the chicken is completely cooked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Finish the Ranch Chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it. Then, return it to the crock pot. Break the bacon up into small pieces and mix it into the chicken.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Step 4: Toast the Rolls<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Cut the rolls in half and spread mayonnaise over the inside of the top and bottom halves. Toast them, mayonnaise side down, in a large pan over medium-high heat until browned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Make the Seasoned Butter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Melt the butter and stir in the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Make and Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Place the bottoms of the rolls on a baking sheet. Then, top them with cheddar cheese slices and shredded chicken. Top with the top halves of the buns and brush them with the melted butter. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes at 350 until the cheese is melted. Drizzle with ranch dressing. Enjoy!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
Shred the chicken as soon as you can safely handle it. Hot meat shreds much more easily than cool meat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It’s important to add the onions first, so they get nice and soft.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cook the bacon over medium heat so it gets nice and crispy without burning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Medium-high heat is the sweet spot for toasting the buns. It gives them great color without burning them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
You can make this recipe with turkey breast, pork, or even beef.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add pepperoncini to make Mississippi chicken sliders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use your favorite cheese for this recipe, such as Colby jack, pepper jack cheese, or Swiss cheese. They all work!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
