Description
Signature buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwiches combine spicy shredded chicken with melted cheese between crispy, buttered bread. Rich flavors and simple ingredients create a quick, satisfying meal you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
- 8 slices GO Veggie Sriracha Deli Slices (or regular cheddar cheese)
- 8 slices of bread
- ⅓ cup (79 mL) buffalo sauce
- 2–3 tbsps (30–45 mL) butter (or non-dairy butter spread), at room temperature
Instructions
- Preparation: Shred cooked chicken and coat thoroughly with buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is saturated with zesty flavor.
- Bread Preparation: Lavishly spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice, creating a golden, crisp foundation for the sandwich.
- Assembly: Layer buffalo-infused chicken evenly onto the unbuttered side of four bread slices, then strategically place two cheese slices atop the seasoned chicken.
- Sandwich Construction: Crown with remaining bread slices, positioning buttered exterior facing outward for optimal grilling.
- Skillet Technique: Preheat large skillet over medium heat, creating an even, perfect grilling surface.
- Grilling Process: Carefully transfer assembled sandwiches to heated skillet, grilling each side for 4-5 minutes until achieving a caramelized golden-brown exterior and ensuring cheese melts into a luxurious, gooey consistency.
- Finishing Touch: Remove sandwiches from skillet, slice diagonally to reveal melted interior, and serve immediately while maintaining crisp exterior and molten cheese core.
Notes
- Butter Wisdom: Always use softened butter for seamless spreading and even, golden-brown toasting.
- Sauce Saturation: Ensure chicken is completely coated with buffalo sauce for maximum flavor intensity.
- Cheese Melting Technique: Place cheese slices strategically to guarantee complete, gooey melting throughout the sandwich.
- Heat Control: Maintain medium heat to achieve perfect golden-brown exterior without burning the bread.
