Description

There’s nothing quite like the comforting satisfaction of a classic grilled cheese sandwich. But what if we told you that you can take this beloved dish to new heights by adding a delectable twist? Introducing the BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese – a mouthwatering fusion of smoky, tangy barbecue flavors and the gooey, melty goodness of a grilled cheese. Get ready to experience a flavor explosion in every bite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your preferred flavor)
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Mix the Chicken with BBQ Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded chicken with your desired amount of BBQ sauce. Gently toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side, layer the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by the cheddar cheese slices and thinly sliced red onion. Top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
  3. Grill to Perfection: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the hot pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and oozing. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
  4. Once the cheese is perfectly melted and the bread is crispy, slice and serve your BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese.

Notes

  • Experiment with different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for added flavor.
  • Be mindful of the BBQ sauce quantity to prevent overpowering the sandwich.
  • Feel free to use different bread types such as brioche or whole grain to suit your preference.
