Buffalo Chicken Ranch Grilled Cheese (Print Version)

Spicy buffalo chicken, creamy ranch, and sharp cheddar melted between buttery golden bread. Bold flavors in every bite.

# 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

# How to Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to coat the 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 the 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, covering 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 melted.
07 - Remove from heat, slice in half, and garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The spicy and creamy combination hits every crave button at once
  • Ready in under 30 minutes but tastes like something from a pub
  • Perfect for using up leftover rotisserie chicken
02 -
  • Low and slow heat prevents burning before the cheese melts through
  • Let the sandwiches rest 2 minutes before slicing or the cheese will run everywhere
03 -
  • Let the buttered bread sit for 5 minutes before grilling so it absorbs into the surface
  • A bacon press or heavy skillet helps the cheese melt evenly without burning the bread
