👩🍳 How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix together shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and ranch dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Slice the Rolls
Without separating the rolls, slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally (like a sandwich bun). Place the bottom half in your baking dish.
Step 4: Assemble
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom half of the rolls. Place the top half back on.
Step 5: Add Butter Topping
Mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush it generously over the top of the rolls.
Step 6: Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 7: Garnish & Serve
Let cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm!
