Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 15 oz package 12-count potato rolls (i.e. Martin’s)
  • 1 lb thinly sliced deli chicken
  • 8 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 12 slices colby jack cheese
  • 1/3 cup prepared Ranch salad dressing
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a serrated knife cut through the middle of the potato rolls. Place the bottoms side by side on the pan. Set the tops aside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt together the softened butter, chives, garlic salt and onion powder.
  • Brush the bottoms of the sliced rolls with about 1/3 of the seasoned butter.
  • Layer 1/2 of the cheese on the bottom, then arrange the chicken and bacon crumbles over the cheese. Break cheese slices if needed to fit.
  • Drizzle with Ranch dressing. Top with the final layer of cheese.
  • Brush liberally with butter mixture. Place the tops on the cheese.
  • Brush the remaining seasoned butter on top and sides. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Cover loosely with foil. Bake covered for 20 minutes then uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden.
  • Cut apart and serve immediately with additional Ranch dressing, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality ingredients, especially for the bacon and cheese, as they are key to the flavor. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite meats or vegetables, and try different cheeses to suit your taste. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven to maintain their crispy exterior. You can also freeze the rolls for later use, making this recipe as convenient as it is delicious.
