Instructions

Prepare the buffalo chicken

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated.

Pro tip: Adjust the buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.

Butter the bread

Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice.

Pro tip: Ensure the butter is evenly spread to achieve a golden, crispy crust.

Assemble the sandwiches

Place one slice of bread buttered-side down on a plate. Top with a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, buffalo chicken, blue cheese crumbles (if using), more cheese, and another slice of bread buttered-side up. Repeat for all sandwiches.

Pro tip: Press down gently to help the ingredients stick together.

Preheat the skillet

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Pro tip: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the sandwich to ensure a crisp crust.

Grill the sandwiches

Place the sandwiches in the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Pro tip: Cover the skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt faster.

Serve

Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Slice in half and serve warm.
