Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 0.33 cup Buffalo-style hot sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 oz softened cream cheese
- 2 tbsp ranch dressing
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced green onions
- 1.5 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup blue cheese crumbles optional
- 8 oz sliced sourdough bread about 8 slices
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened for the bread
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Stir chicken, hot sauce, melted butter, cream cheese, ranch, garlic powder, and green onions until creamy.
- Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Spread the softened butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Layer cheddar on the unbuttered side of half the slices. Spoon on the Buffalo chicken, then add Monterey Jack and a pinch of blue cheese if using.
- Top with remaining bread, buttered side facing out. Cook until golden, 3–4 minutes per side, lowering heat if browning too fast.
- Rest 1 minute, then slice and serve with extra hot sauce or ranch for dipping.
Notes
Swap cheeses to taste: pepper jack for heat, or all mozzarella for extra melt. Add a crunch by tucking in thin celery slices after grilling. For a calmer sandwich, use half the hot sauce and a touch more ranch. Leftovers reheat best in a skillet or air fryer to re-crisp; refrigerate up to 2 days.
