Notes
- May substitute cooked and shredded chicken breast or thighs for the rotisserie chicken.
- I like to use pre-cooked bacon for the added ease in this recipe. However, because pre-cooked bacon tends to be thinner than regular bacon, I double the amount. Also, I crisp up the pre-cooked bacon in the microwave before using it.
- Feel free to use just cheddar cheese in this recipe. Alternatively, pepper jack, Monterey Jack, and Fontina cheese are delicious in this recipe.
- I prefer using the savory butter Hawaiian rolls rather than the sweet rolls in this recipe because of the savory filling. However, in a pinch, you could use the sweet rolls.
- May be made in advance up to this point. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Add around 5 minutes of cooking time if cold.
