Chicken Bacon Ranch Pull Apart Rolls

(These are a keeper with rave reviews from my family!  They have a great flavor and easy to make.   I made them for New Year's Eve and they were a big hit!  I will be making them for the super bowl this year as one of our "finger foods" by request of my husband 😄) ps. we don't watch the super bowl, we just celebrate with fun foods and watch "Ben Hur" or  "The Ten Commandments ", but I think this year it should be "The Chosen"

Ingredients:

* 1 15 oz. pkg. 12 count potato rolls - I used the Hawaiian sweet rolls

* 1 lb. thinly sliced deli chicken ( I actually used sliced/grilled chicken breast I found at Sam's) - I think that is what made it even better

*  8 slices bacon - cooked and crumbled

*  12 slices Colby jack cheese, I used Havarti

*  1/3 c. prepared Ranch dressing

*  1/2 c. butter

*  1 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives

*  1 tsp. garlic salt

*  2 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1.  Preheat oven to 350 F.  Line large baking sheet with parchment paper

2.  Cut through the middle of the rolls.  Place bottoms side by side on the pan.  Set the tops aside.

3.   For seasoned butter;  in small pan over medium heat, melt the softened butter, chives, garlic salt and onion powder.

4.  Brush the bottoms of the sliced rolls with about 1/3 of the seasoned butter.

5.  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.

6.  Drizzle with Ranch dressing.  Top with the final layer of cheese

7.  Brush liberally with butter mixture.  Place the tops on the cheese.

8.  Brush the remaining seasoned butter on top and sides.  Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

 9.  Cover loosely with foil.  Bake covered for 20 min. then uncover and bake for an additional 10 min. or until the tops are lightly golden.

10.  Cut apart and serve immediately with additional Ranch dressing, if desired.

Enjoy!

* I actually just kept the rolls together and sliced through 6 and 6 instead of each individually, but you will need a knife to cut them into individual rolls
