Ingredients
3–4 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
24 Hawaiian rolls (two 12-count packs)
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions
➜ Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease or spray a baking dish.
➜ In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper.
➜ Slice the entire sheet of Hawaiian rolls horizontally so the tops stay connected and the bottoms stay connected.
➜ Place the bottom layer of rolls in the baking dish and sprinkle half the shredded cheese over them.
➜ Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the cheese. Add the remaining cheese on top.
➜ Place the top layer of rolls back on and brush with the melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning.
➜ Bake for 10–15 minutes or until the rolls are lightly golden and the cheese is melted.
➜ Slice and serve warm.
