As a working mom, I'm always looking for quick and easy meals that the whole family will love. This Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese is a new favorite that checks all the boxes. It's flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
The secret to this sandwich is the combination of Frank's Red Hot sauce and melted cheese. The hot sauce gives the sandwich a nice kick, while the cheese mellows it out and makes it creamy and gooey. I also like to add a bit of blue cheese crumbles for an extra bit of flavor. You can use any type of bread you like, but I prefer jalapeño bread because it adds a bit of extra spice.
To make the sandwich, simply spread some hot sauce on one side of each slice of bread. Then, layer on the chicken, cheese, and blue cheese crumbles. Finally, grill the sandwich in a pan until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Step-by-step
- In a medium bowl stir together the shredded chicken breast and Frank’s Red Hot sauce.
- Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of the bread, then stack buttered sides together.
- Layer one ounce of Monterey Jack on each bread stack, then dollop of hot sauce slathered chicken breast and then 1 ounce of blue cheese crumbles.
- Place bread buttered side down in a fry pan over medium heat. Cover with a lid and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and flip sandwich to the other side and cook for 2-3 minutes or until bread is toasty golden and cheese has melted. The second side will cook faster than the first so watch carefully.
- Cut in half and enjoy hot.
