Chicken Bacon Croissant Sliders (Print)

Buttery croissant rolls filled with shredded chicken, bacon, cheddar, and ranch for a tasty party treat.

# Components:

→ Meats

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

→ Dairy

03 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
04 - ½ cup cream cheese, softened
05 - ¼ cup ranch dressing
06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Bakery

07 - 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated croissant dough (12 croissant rolls total)

→ Seasonings

08 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
09 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and black pepper until thoroughly mixed.
03 - Unroll the croissant dough and separate into individual triangles. Place approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling on the wider end of each triangle.
04 - Roll each croissant from the wide end to the tip, tucking in corners to seal and form a small slider shape. Arrange sliders on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush the tops of all sliders evenly with melted butter.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked.
07 - Remove sliders from oven, allow to cool briefly, and garnish with fresh chives if desired. Serve warm.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • If you love recipes that handle themselves in the oven while you chat, this one's a gem.
  • The creamy, savory filling inside a buttery croissant is every bit as rich as it sounds—and earned these a spot in my last-minute favorites folder.
02 -
  • Don't overfill the croissant dough; overstuffed sliders burst open and leak cheesy treasures onto the pan.
  • Using room temperature cream cheese makes mixing so much easier—lumpy filling is nobody's favorite.
03 -
  • If your croissant dough feels sticky, a little flour on your hands makes rolling easier.
  • Brushing with butter just as they come out of the oven adds extra gloss and makes these even more inviting.
