Ingredients

Scale

Filling

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Other

12 Hawaiian rolls
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon parsley flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Slice Rolls: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice the Hawaiian rolls horizontally to separate them into top and bottom halves, then place the bottom half into the prepared baking dish.
Mix Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly mixed and coated.
Assemble Rolls: Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom layer of rolls in the baking dish. Place the top half layer of rolls back on top to enclose the filling.
Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and parsley flakes (if using). Brush this garlic butter mixture generously over the top of the assembled rolls.
Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes, which helps in melting the cheese and warming the rolls evenly.
Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the top is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted to develop a delicious crust.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly for a couple of minutes, then pull apart the rolls and serve warm. Enjoy the savory, cheesy goodness!

Notes

You can substitute the ranch dressing with blue cheese dressing for a different flavor twist.
Make sure to cook the bacon until crispy for the best texture in the filling.
These rolls are best served warm but can be reheated easily in the oven.
Optional parsley flakes add a nice color and mild herb flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
