Description

When you crave something ultra-comforting but with a bold, spicy twist, Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese delivers like no other.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Buffalo Chicken:

2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

2 tablespoons ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing

1 tablespoon melted butter

For the Grilled Cheese:

8 slices of sourdough bread (or your favorite thick bread)

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)

4 tablespoons softened butter (for spreading)

Optional: extra buffalo sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing for drizzling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, and ranch (or blue cheese) dressing.
Stir until evenly coated.

Tip: If you like it extra spicy, add a little more buffalo sauce!

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

Butter one side of each slice of bread.
On the unbuttered side, layer cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, and more cheese.
Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.

3. Grill the Sandwiches

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place sandwiches butter-side down onto the skillet.
Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.

Pro Tip: Grill slowly over medium heat so the cheese melts perfectly without burning the bread!

4. Slice and Serve

Remove from skillet and let cool slightly.
Slice in half and serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce or ranch for dipping!

Notes

Use Good Bread: Thick, sturdy bread like sourdough or Texas toast works best.
Low and Slow: Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the cheese fully melts.
Mix Cheeses: Blend mozzarella, cheddar, or Monterey Jack for extra gooey goodness.
Customize Heat: Use mild wing sauce if serving kids; spicy sauce for a grown-up version!
