Juicy BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)

A smoky-sweet blend of BBQ chicken, cheese, and onions grilled to crispy perfection.

# Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 200 grams shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover)

→ Sauce

02 - 60 milliliters BBQ sauce (Kansas City or Carolina style)

→ Bread

03 - 4 slices sourdough or Texas toast bread

→ Cheese

04 - 60 grams sharp cheddar cheese, sliced

05 - 60 grams mozzarella cheese, sliced

→ Vegetables

06 - 30 grams thinly sliced red onion

→ Fats

07 - 15 grams unsalted butter, softened

# Steps:

01 - Combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly to ensure even coating.

02 - Place cheese slices on one side of each bread slice, then add BBQ chicken mixture and red onion on two slices. Top with remaining bread slices, cheese side down.

03 - Spread softened butter evenly over the outside surfaces of both assembled sandwiches.

04 - Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure with a spatula, until bread is golden brown and cheese has melted. Cover briefly if necessary to aid melting.

05 - Allow sandwiches to rest for 2 minutes before slicing to maintain structure and temperature.

# Notes:

01 - Adjust BBQ sauce quantity to balance moisture for optimal sandwich texture.

02 - Cast iron skillets provide superior heat distribution for even cooking.

03 - For a crispier exterior, mayonnaise can replace butter as a spread.
