It’s crispy outside, cheesy inside, and packed with bold buffalo flavor.
Ingredients
- Cooked shredded chicken

- Bread
- Cheddar cheese

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese
Mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Butter the outside of two slices of bread.
Place cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice. Add buffalo chicken and another layer of cheese.
Top with the second slice of bread.
Cook in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side until crispy and the cheese is completely melted.
Slice and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Tips
Keep the heat moderate. Cooking grilled cheese too quickly can burn the bread before the cheese melts.
For extra flavor, mix a little ranch dressing into the chicken before assembling the sandwich.
