Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese (Print Version)

Tender buffalo chicken paired with blue and mozzarella cheeses melted inside crispy sourdough bread.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 5 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce, plus extra for serving (optional)

→ Cheese

03 - 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Bread & Spread

05 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty sandwich bread
06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

→ Optional Add-ins

07 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
08 - 1/4 cup finely diced celery

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a medium bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until thoroughly coated.
02 - In a separate bowl, mix crumbled blue cheese with shredded mozzarella until evenly blended.
03 - Butter one side of each bread slice. Arrange 4 slices buttered side down on a clean surface.
04 - Layer each bread slice with buffalo chicken, cheese mixture, and optional green onions or celery.
05 - Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing up.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches on the skillet, cooking 3 to 4 minutes per side while pressing lightly, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted.
07 - Slice sandwiches and serve hot. Optionally drizzle with extra buffalo sauce.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's ready in 25 minutes but tastes like you fussed for hours.
  • The combination of creamy blue cheese and spicy buffalo chicken is bold enough to excite your palate but approachable enough to crave again.
  • It transforms pantry staples into something that feels indulgent and special.
02 -
  • Medium heat is non-negotiable—I learned this by burning the first attempt and eating nothing but charred toast and regret.
  • Don't overstuff; a thin, even layer of filling melts better than a bulging, messy sandwich that leaks all over the skillet.
03 -
  • Keep your skillet at medium heat and use a spatula to gently press the sandwich as it cooks—this encourages the cheese to meld and the bread to crisp without burning.
  • If you're making multiple sandwiches, keep the cooked ones warm in a low oven while you finish the batch so everyone eats together.
