Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Recipes

BUFFALO CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.

BUFFALO CHICKEN GRILLED CHEESE

Steps:

• Remove the skin and bones from the chicken and shred into a large bowl. Toss together with the buffalo sauce and scallions.
• To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 4 bread slices in a single layer. Brush the bread with 3 tablespoons of the softened butter, then turn the bread over. Top each bread slice with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, buffalo chicken, sliced celery, carrots, and a tablespoon of blue cheese. Top each with a slice of bread and brush with remaining butter.
• Heat a skillet or griddle over moderate heat. Working in batches, cook sandwiches until bread is golden and crisp and cheese has melted, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cook the remaining sandwiches. Cut each in half and serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
