Chicken Recipe ✶ Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich is restaurant-worthy and a great way to use up leftover cooked chicken.

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup hot Buffalo wing sauce (such as Frank's® REDHOT Buffalo Wing Sauce), or to taste
• 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
• 2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1.5 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 (4 ounce) package crumbled blue cheese
• 8 slices Texas toast
• 8 slices Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup ranch dressing, or to taste
• 1.5 cups carrot strips
• 1 cup celery sticks

Cooking Directions

1. Combine wing sauce, granulated garlic, onion powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Toss in cooked shredded chicken, coating all the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese crumbles.
3. Assemble the sandwiches by starting with a slice of Texas toast. Add one slice of Monterey Jack cheese, top with chicken mixture, add a second slice of cheese, then place another slice of toast on top, buttered-side up. Repeat for 4 sandwiches.
4. Place a completed sandwich in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, until the toast is browned and the cheese is softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the toast. Turn down the heat if the sandwich is browning too fast. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sandwich and cook until the sandwich is brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.
