Chicken, bacon and ranch sliders

Ingredients:

1 package slider rolls (or rolls cut like slider rolls)

2 cups shredded chicken (approx 2 large cans)*

2/3 cup crumbled bacon pieces (about 1/2 package, cooked)

2 cups ranch dressing, divided

1 package cheddar cheese slices

1 stick butter, melted

1 Tblsp. powdered garlic

1 Tblsp. parsley

*If using canned chicken, brown chicken in skillet first and let cool.

Preparation:

1. Separate slider bun tops and bottoms, and place bottoms on an ungreased rimmed backing sheet, with sides touching.

2. Using a pastry brush or spatula, spread the bottom of the bun with ranch dressing.

3. Mix chicken, half of the bacon pieces and 1 cup of the ranch dressing.

4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly across the buns.

5. Drizzle the remaining ranch dressing across the chicken.

6. Lay the cheese slices across the chicken, overlapping as necessary. Be sure that cheese goes to the edges of the buns, but not over.

7. Sprinkle remaining bacon over cheese.

8. Put the bun tops on the sandwiches.

9. Mix the powdered garlic and parsley into the butter.

10. Using a pastry brush, spread the butter all across the tops of the buns, allowing it to drip down the sides between the sandwiches.

11. Cover sandwiches with foil, sealing the sides.

12. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is fully melted, about 15 minutes.
