Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwiches, perfect for a quick meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of black pepper
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread
- 4–6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)
- 8 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices provolone cheese (optional)
- 2–4 tablespoons ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (optional)
- 1 green onions or chives, thinly sliced for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook your chicken until it’s no longer pink and easily shreds, preferably using rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Frank’s RedHot sauce, melted butter, softened cream cheese (if using), garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well until coated.
- Lay out your 8 slices of bread and lightly butter one side of each slice.
- Flip 4 of the bread slices over and place a slice of cheese on each of the unbuttered sides.
- Evenly divide the Buffalo chicken mixture among the cheese-topped bread slices.
- Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired, then top with another slice of cheese.
- Place the remaining 4 slices of bread on top, buttered-side up.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and grill sandwiches for 3-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted, pressing down occasionally.
- Serve immediately after slicing diagonally and garnishing with green onions or chives, alongside extra dressing and celery/carrot sticks.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken can save time and make the preparation easier.
- Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less of the Frank’s RedHot sauce.
- These sandwiches pair well with fresh celery or carrot sticks.
