Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese

# What You’ll Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

02 - 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for drizzling

03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese

04 - 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese

05 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Caesar Layer

06 - 1/4 cup Caesar dressing

07 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, thinly shredded

→ Bread

08 - 8 slices sturdy country bread or sourdough

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine shredded chicken breast with buffalo sauce and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Toss until pieces are evenly coated in the spicy mixture.

02 - Lay out all bread slices. Spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice to create the interior flavor base.

03 - On four prepared bread slices, layer provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded romaine lettuce, and grated Parmesan. Top with another slice of provolone to bind the filling.

04 - Top each sandwich with remaining bread slices, placing the Caesar dressing side inward. Spread softened butter generously across the exterior of both bread faces.

05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread turns golden brown and cheese melts completely.

06 - Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board and let rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Cut diagonally and serve immediately. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.
