Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese

# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

02 - 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (plus extra for serving, optional)

03 - 1 cup crumbled blue cheese

04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

05 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty sandwich bread

06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

07 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

08 - 1/4 cup celery, finely diced

01 - In a medium bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until fully coated.

02 - In another bowl, mix crumbled blue cheese and shredded mozzarella until evenly combined.

03 - Butter one side of each bread slice. Arrange four slices, buttered side down, on a flat surface.

04 - Layer each buttered slice with buffalo chicken, cheese mixture, and optional green onions or celery as desired.

05 - Place remaining bread slices on top, buttered side up, to complete each sandwich.

06 - Heat skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden and cheese melts.

07 - Slice sandwiches and serve hot. Optionally drizzle with extra buffalo sauce.

01 -

It comes together in 25 minutes and tastes way bolder than you'd expect from something this simple.
The contrast between spicy buffalo and cool, funky blue cheese is genuinely addictive.
One sandwich is substantial enough for lunch, but you'll probably want to make a second one anyway.

02 -

Medium heat is your best friend here—it's the difference between a crispy exterior and a burnt one.
Don't skimp on pressing the sandwich while it cooks; gentle, consistent pressure helps the cheese meld and the bread brown evenly.

03 -

Use a cast iron skillet or griddle if you have one—it holds heat more evenly than non-stick and browns bread better.
Make sure your butter is actually soft; cold butter will tear the bread apart as you try to spread it.
