Ingredients
Sourdough or Thick-Cut Bread:
2 slices
Butter (softened):
1 tablespoon
Cooked Shredded Chicken:
1/2 cup
Buffalo Sauce:
2 tablespoons
Ranch or Blue Cheese Dressing:
1 tablespoon
Shredded Cheddar Cheese:
1/2 cup
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese:
1/4 cup
Optional Toppings:
Sliced green onions or crumbled blue cheese for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken: In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and dressing until evenly coated.
- Assemble Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice, butter-side down, in a skillet over medium heat. Layer the cheddar and mozzarella cheese, then spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the cheese. Add any optional toppings like green onions or crumbled blue cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Cook: Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from skillet, let sit for 1 minute, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- Adjust buffalo sauce to your heat preference.
- Swap ranch for blue cheese dressing based on taste.
- For extra crispiness, cook low and slow to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
