Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter room temperature (½ stick)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
- 4 slices sourdough bread cut approximately ½-inch thick
- 2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese or swiss or mozzarella
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the butter, garlic powder and parsley, set aside.
- In a medium size bowl, mix the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and crumbled blue cheese.
- Spread one side of each piece of bread with the butter mixture, then turn over so the butter side is down.
- On two pieces of the bread, add ½ cup of shredded cheese, then top with the buffalo chicken mixture and the remaining shredded cheese.
- Place the remaining pieces of bread on top to close the sandwiches.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and place the sandwiches on the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook approximately 5 minutes until bottoms are lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the sandwiches and gently press to help seal them then cover with the lid and cook another 3-5 minutes until both sides are browned and cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and serve with blue cheese dip or hot sauce.

Notes
- Storage: Store buffalo chicken grilled cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe can easily be scaled up or down as needed.
- As these sandwiches are thick, covering the skillet with a lid helps them heat through without burning the bread.
- If you don’t like blue cheese, you can leave that out or replace with extra cheese of your choice.
