If you like hot and spicy foods, then this buffalo chicken and grilled cheese sandwich is for you. Although it may not look very spicy, trust me when I say it was. Regardless, this sandwich is incredible! It is so much better than a regular chicken salad sandwich, there is so much more flavor in it. They were so good, my husband said they were the best sandwiches he ever ate. Â Well it’s not that hard to achieve this from him, since sandwiches are his favorite food. But I can still surprise him with rich flavors. And this sandwich has that and more.
So I mentioned it’s spicy, but it’s cheesy too. This sandwich comes packed with 3 different types of cheese. I used cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and of course blue cheese. So I urge you to try this beauty, but don’t say I did not warn you about the spiciness.
I think of sandwiches as somewhat of a healthy food, so that’s why I served it with some carrots and celery sticks and so blue cheese dip.
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bread
- 2 cups shredded chicken, cooked and warm
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (tabasco or frank's)
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 celery stick, finely chopped
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp butter
Instructions:
- Heat the grill. I use an indoor Panini maker.
- Mix the chicken, with the hot sauce, mayonnaise, celery, onion, 1/4 cup of blue cheese, mozzarella cheese and cheddar cheese. If you prefer add salt and pepper to taste, but it's not necessary.
- Butter each slice of bread and top with a tbsp of blue cheese on 3 of the slices.
- Divide the chicken mixture in 3 and top 3 of the slices of the chicken mixture and next the other slice of bread.
- Grill the sandwiches for 2 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and cheese has melted.
Enjoy!
Made this the other night – delicious! Served with a side of cole slaw and pasta salad. Not big on celery.
Cole slaw sounds like a great idea with this sandwich.
Yummy! This is my kind of sandwich. I love the buffalo chicken and grilled cheese combination.
