  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Set it aside.

  • Place the bottom rolls into the prepared baking dish.
  • Spread the chicken ranch mixture evenly over the bottom rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Lay the top rolls over the shredded cheese.
  • Use a pastry brush to spread the melted butter over the top rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the buttered rolls.
  • Evenly sprinkle the chopped chives over the parmesan layer.

Can substitute chicken with rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation. Adjust the amount of bacon based on personal preference. For extra flavor, add garlic powder or hot sauce to the mixture.
