Ingredients
Scale
2 slices of bread (your choice – sourdough, whole wheat, or rye)
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Optional toppings: sliced jalapeños, crispy bacon, or diced onions
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken. If you don’t already have cooked chicken on hand, you can quickly cook a chicken breast. Simply season it with salt and pepper, grill or bake it until fully cooked (about 20 minutes), and shred or dice it.
Step 2: Mix Chicken with BBQ Sauce. In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce. Adjust the amount to your taste; more sauce will create a juicier sandwich, while less will yield a more traditional grilled cheese experience. Set aside the mixture.
Step 3: Prepare the Bread and Cheese. Butter one side of each slice of bread evenly. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer a generous amount of shredded cheese followed by the BBQ chicken mixture. Top it off with more cheese before placing the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side facing out.
Step 4: Grill to Perfection. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the sandwich in the skillet and cover it with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Slice and Serve. Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. This helps prevent the cheese from spilling out when you cut into it. Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy it while still warm!
Notes
A delightful twist on the classic grilled cheese sandwich, filled with BBQ chicken and melted cheese, perfect for a quick meal.
