How to make: Chicken Bacon Ranch Sliders

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat content while maintaining a similar flavor.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: low-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Low-fat cheese reduces calories while still melting well.

ranch dressing

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt dressing

💰Cheaper: homemade ranch with mayo

Greek yogurt dressing is lower in calories and adds creaminess.

slider buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: regular hamburger buns

Whole grain buns add fiber without sacrificing taste.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking dish or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the bottom of the 12 Hawaiian Rolls, sliced in half lengthwise onto the prepared baking sheet.

Use a pastry brush to spread ½ cup ranch dressing on both halves (¼ cup on each half) of the cut side of the Hawaiian rolls.

Layer the filling: on the bottom half of the rolls, layer 1 pound sliced deli chicken, ¾ cup crumbled, cooked bacon, and then 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.

Place the top half of the Hawaiian rolls on top of the filling.

In a bowl, mix together ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted, 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons dry ranch seasoning, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and ½ teaspoon dried dill until combined. Set aside.

Brush the top of the rolls with the prepared butter mixture.

Cover with aluminum foil, ensuring the foil doesn’t touch the rolls.

Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the sliders are heated through and the cheese has melted.
