Blue cheese dressing: If you're not a fan of blue cheese, ranch dressing can be a good substitute.

Butter: Melted butter brushed on the top of the rolls gives them a golden, crispy finish.

Set the dish aside while you prepare the chicken mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing, and green onions.

Slice the dinner rolls in half and place the bottom half in the prepared baking dish.
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the bottom rolls, then sprinkle the pepper jack cheese over the chicken.
Place the top halves of the rolls on top to complete the sliders.
Melt the butter in the microwave and brush it generously over the top of the rolls.
Bake the sliders in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
