Spicy buffalo chicken meets creamy ranch and sharp cheddar in this bold, buttery grilled cheese sandwich.

# What You'll Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese & Dressing

04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
05 - 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
06 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing

→ Bread & Assembly

07 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty white bread
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to coat chicken evenly.
02 - Lay out bread slices and spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer half the cheddar cheese, then divide buffalo chicken mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella and top with remaining cheddar cheese.
04 - Place remaining bread slices ranch-side down to close the sandwiches.
05 - Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich on both top and bottom surfaces.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove from heat, slice diagonally in half, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The combination of tangy ranch and spicy buffalo hits every craving at once
  • Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a pub
  • Perfectly customizable based on your heat tolerance
02 -
  • Low and slow heat prevents burning the bread before the cheese melts
  • Pressing gently with your spatula helps the bread make contact with the pan for even browning
03 -
  • Use a box grater for your cheese instead of pre shredded, it melts so much better
  • If your bread is very thick, lower the heat slightly and cook a bit longer
