When you’re in the mood for something different for a grab-n-go for lunch or planning tasty game day eats these Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls will fit the bill. Buttery rolls stuffed with chicken, bacon and cheese are drizzled with Ranch dressing then baked until they’re warm and gooey. They’re so very tasty and easy to prepare that they’re sure to become a family favorite.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls

I love having sons, they’re easy to please when it comes to meal planning. I learned rather quickly that whatever I plan to make there should be plenty of it. I’m delighted that they love leftovers and I never hear a complaint from them when we have a repeat dinner. I often try to reinvent leftovers a bit but, at times it’s an encore presentation of the original. That’s how these Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls came to be using leftover roasted chicken. They enjoyed it so much that I began picking up deli chicken to make them as a grab-and-go meal. It worked like a charm and has now become one of our faves.

Tips And Tricks

Since these gooey rolls are designed to be pulled apart, it’s important to use crumbled bacon in place of whole pieces so they can be pulled apart more easily. Also, feel free to use light butter, low fat cheese and light salad dressing I’ve found they work beautifully, too. These rolls can be assembled in advance, covered and chilled then baked off when you’re ready to eat. You can serve them with a side of fresh vegetables and extra Ranch dressing for dipping to round out a scrumptious handheld meal. Other chicken and ranch combos you might like are these BLT Ranch Chicken Wraps for a quick lunch or take Taco Tuesday up a notch with these  Chicken Ranch Tacos.

      I used thinly sliced deli chicken for this recipe as I don’t care for pre-packaged. That being said, from time to time, I’ve used rotisserie chicken (I love those Costco chickens!) and left-over grilled or roasted chicken thinly sliced. If you have packaged chicken on hand go for it, it’s delicious any way you go.

    Delicious!! An excellent one for dinner or parties. They save well as leftovers too, so snacks for days! My only tip is that you double the amounts of basically everything except the chicken and the rolls (unless you want to of course), especially for the sauce.

    I made these for a family gathering to celebrate my parents’ birthdays. I followed the recipe exactly how it’s posted in this blog and they came out PERFECTLY. I made three batches to serve 11 adults and only 3 little sandwiches remained. They were a huge hit and my sisters found the pin on my Pinterest board so they could make this too. It was so easy to make, easy cleanup, and delicious.

      April 11, 2019 at 7:36 pm

      Hi Trevor, I’m glad you liked these! The bottoms should toast a bit while baking but, shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe try placing them on parchment and making sure your rack is centered in the oven. You could also try placing them in aluminum foil and bringing it partly up the sides just enough to protect the bottoms while baking.

      Absolutely yes, I’ve done this many times.Just wrap in plastic wrap and wait to brush the exterior with butter just before baking. I usually just cover the butter and pop it in the fridge then zap it in the microwave to melt.

    These are so good! I made a couple of adjustments. I used Hawaiian rolls and put the ranch dressing in a bowl on the side as a few people aren’t fans of warm ranch dressing. Now matter how many I make, I never have any leftovers! My mouth is watering just thinking about them while I write this.

    Directions say to “Brush liberally with butter mixture” after adding the second layer of cheese, then put roll tops on, then “Brush the remaining seasoned butter on top and sides”…It seems there will be no remaining butter mixture. Should I skip the butter on top of the cheese? Am making these tomorrow. If no one gets back to me in time, I think I will skip that.
    Sounds great! Taking to a church lunch tomorrow!
