Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled turkey bacon
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6–8 sandwich buns or slider rolls
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, pickles
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, ranch dressing mix, mayonnaise, sour cream, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated in the creamy mixture.
Step 2: Warm the Mixture
- Transfer the chicken mixture to a large skillet or saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until warmed through and the cheese is melted.
Step 3: Toast the Buns (Optional)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place sandwich buns on a baking sheet and toast for 3-5 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwiches
- Spoon the warm chicken mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Add optional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or pickles, then top with the other half of the bun.
