Spicy buffalo chicken meets creamy ranch and sharp cheddar in this bold, indulgent grilled cheese sandwich.

# What You Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese & Dressing

04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

07 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty white bread
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

# Directions:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until chicken is evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer half the cheddar cheese, followed by equal portions of buffalo chicken mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese if desired and top with remaining cheddar cheese.
04 - Place remaining bread slices ranch-side down to close each sandwich.
05 - Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, covering both top and bottom surfaces.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove from heat, slice each sandwich diagonally in half, and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve while warm.

  • Low and slow heat wins the race, high heat burns bread before cheese melts
  • Letting the sandwiches rest for 1 minute after cooking prevents the cheese from running out when you slice them
03 -
  • Grate cheese from blocks for the smoothest melting texture
  • Use a light touch when pressing, heavy pressure squeezes out all the cheesy goodness
