¼ cup ranch dressing
1 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.

2 ½ cups cooked shredded chicken, ½ cup buffalo sauce, 4 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup ranch dressing
Stir in ½ cup of the mozzarella and ¼ cup of the cheddar cheese to create a rich, cheesy filling.
0.5 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese, ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Assemble sliders: Using a serrated knife, slice the slab of rolls in half horizontally, keeping them connected. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
12 Hawaiian sweet rolls
Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the bottom buns, pressing gently to create an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
0.5 cup shredded mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese
Place the top half of the rolls over the filling and cheese.
Brush and Bake: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic powder. Brush evenly over the tops of the rolls.
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tops are lightly golden.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing along the roll lines and serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Blue cheese crumbles

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325-degree oven until warmed through for the best texture.

Notes

Great Substitutions:

Monterey Jack can be replaced with mozzarella or Colby Jack.
Blue cheese dressing can be used instead of ranch.
Cooked chicken breasts or canned chicken may be substituted for rotisserie.
Mild buffalo sauce can be used for less heat.
