Savor the Flavor of BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese

Smoky BBQ chicken melds with gooey cheese between crispy grilled bread, creating a satisfying bite ideal for picnics or easy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 8 slices of bread
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • Optional: sliced pickles or jalapeños

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken and BBQ sauce.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  • Place four slices of bread, buttered side down, on a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
  • Top the bread with 1/4 of the cheese, followed by the BBQ chicken, and then another 1/4 of the cheese.
  • Cover with another slice of bread, buttered side up, and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich and cook until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about another 3-4 minutes.
  • Once cooked, remove sandwiches from the skillet and let them sit for a minute before slicing.
  • Serve hot with optional pickles or jalapeños on the side.
