Creamy crack chicken sliders in Hawaiian buns with melted cheddar cheese are a delicious party sandwich to serve warm from the oven. Prep the chicken filling in advance for an easy dish to bake in minutes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the cream cheese and melt it until smooth.
Add the dried ranch seasoning, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir the seasonings in.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chopped green onions to the skillet, stir them in.
Add just 1 cup of the shredded cheese to the filling and stir it in to melt.
Assemble and Bake the Sliders:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside. (If you're baking 24 sliders at one time, you can use a large baking sheet instead.)
Slice the Hawaiian sliders in half, leaving a hinge pieces so they open like a book. Line them up in neat rows in the baking dish.
Fill the buns evenly with the creamy crack chicken filling. Top the chicken filling with a sprinkle of the remaining shredded cheddar cheese. Close the sliders up.
Mix the Italian herb blend into the melted butter and brush over the tops of the sliders. Sprinkle the top with the grated parmesan cheese.
Loosely cover the sliders with aluminum foil. Don't pinch the edges over the baking pan, you don't want the sliders to steam. You just want to protect the tops from over-browning. Bake the sliders for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 5 - 10 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the crack chicken filling is piping hot. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Note on Slider Buns:
I purchased the 16-count package of Hawaiian buns at Costco. Regular grocery stores carry 12-count packages.You could easily stretch this crack chicken filling across 24 Hawaiian buns if you don't mind a little less filling in each one. So in this case, buy 2 packages of 12-count buns at your grocery store so nothing goes to waste. BONUS: More sliders to share with your friends!
