Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray.

In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Ranch dressing, bacon, and Parmesan cheese. Stir until well-distributed.

Using a serrated knife, cut the rolls in half horizontally and place the bottom slab of bread in the prepared baking dish.

Spoon the ranch chicken mixture on the bread and spread evenly to cover the surface. Arrange cheese slices over the chicken mixture. Place the top slab of the bread over the cheese.

In a small bowl, combine melted butter and dry Ranch seasoning. Brush over the rolls. Cover with foil and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes or until hot and the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and cut into individual pieces to serve.
