Ingredients:

• 12 dinner rolls (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
• 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for extra flavor)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or 8×8-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Stir until everything is evenly combined.
3. Slice the dinner rolls horizontally, but do not cut all the way through the bottom. You want to create a “pull-apart” effect, so leave the bottom intact. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish.
4. Gently pull apart the rolls and stuff the chicken, bacon, and cheese mixture between the layers of each roll.
5. Once all the rolls are filled, brush the tops with the melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder if desired.
6. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the tops to become crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes:

• Chicken: You can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or cook fresh chicken breast for this recipe. Just make sure it’s shredded before adding it to the rolls.
• Bacon: For extra crispy bacon, cook it in the oven or on the stovetop. You can also use turkey bacon for a lighter version of this dish.
• Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare these rolls in advance and store them in the fridge (before baking) for up to 24 hours. Just cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and bake when ready.
• Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
