Ingredients
-
2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover works great)
-
1/2 cup buffalo sauce
-
4 slices cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
-
4 slices bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or preferred type)
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
-
1/4 cup ranch dressing (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce. Mix until evenly coated. -
Assemble the Sandwiches
Lay out the bread slices. On two slices, place one slice of cheddar cheese each. Add the buffalo chicken mixture evenly, then top with blue cheese crumbles if using. Add another slice of cheddar on top of the chicken and close the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices. -
Grill the Sandwiches
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter in the pan. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted. Add more butter as needed when flipping.
-
Serve
Let the sandwiches rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, and enjoy!
Notes
-
Try pepper jack, mozzarella, or a cheese blend for a unique flavor twist.
-
Use a panini press for extra crispy texture.
-
Adjust buffalo sauce to taste — more for heat lovers, less for mild palates.
-
Leftover sandwiches can be reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
