Easy Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese recipe ready in 20 minutes. Perfect for a quick, spicy lunch or dinner using leftover chicken.
Ingredients
-
8 slices sandwich bread
-
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
-
2 teaspoons minced garlic
-
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
½ teaspoon paprika
-
½ cup hot sauce
-
½ cup ranch dressing
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
4 tablespoons butter
-
4–8 slices Muenster cheese (or your preferred sliced cheese)
-
4 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled blue cheese, paprika, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well and set aside.
-
In another bowl, mix shredded chicken, hot sauce, ranch dressing, and minced garlic until the chicken is fully coated.
-
Butter one side of each bread slice. Flip the slices over and spread the cream cheese mixture on four slices (one per sandwich). Top evenly with the buffalo chicken mixture—about ½ cup each.
-
Add one or two slices of your preferred cheese on the remaining bread slices, then close each sandwich with the cheese side down.
-
Heat a skillet over low heat and lightly grease it. Cook the sandwiches for 5 minutes on each side, until bread is golden and crispy and cheese melts. Cook in batches if needed.
-
Remove from the pan and serve warm with extra hot sauce, ranch, or blue cheese dressing if desired.
