Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • 8 slices sturdy bread (sourdough or country white)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, very soft
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until evenly coated, adding a pinch of salt if needed.
  2. Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice, edge to edge.
  3. Build sandwiches by layering cheese, BBQ chicken, and more cheese between unbuttered sides, keeping the buttered sides out.
  4. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  5. Let rest briefly, slice diagonally, and serve hot.

Notes

If using rotisserie chicken, remove the skin first so the sandwich doesn’t get greasy. For the crispiest crust, press the sandwich lightly with a spatula while it cooks.
