Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This month's Crazy Cooking Challenge theme is Grilled Cheese Sandwiches!! 

Who doesn't love a good grilled cheese sandwich? 

  

I can't wait to see all the yummy recipes linked up. 

But, first I'm sharing a fabulous new recipe that I had been wanting to try since I first pinned it.  Closet Cooking shared a recipe for a  Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich that looked and sounded delicious.

So as soon as I found out this month's theme was grilled cheese sandwiches, I immediately knew I had to make them.

And, let me tell you, these sandwiches sooooo delicious!!  We loved them!  

They taste great plus they are quick and easy to make - my kind of meal!!

Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe (makes 4 sandwiches)

-adapted from Closet Cooking

Ingredients:

• 1 large chicken breast - shredded
• 3 tablespoons hot sauce - I used Texas Pete Buffalo Wing Sauce
• 1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons blue cheese dressing (you could also use ranch dressing)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 slices Texas toast

Directions:

• Mix shredded chicken, hot sauce, mayo, and blue cheese dressing in a small bowl.
• Heat your pan on medium heat.  
• I placed two slices of Texas toast on the pan and heated one side for about 30 seconds to melt the butter.  Then I flipped them over to the other side.
• Sprinkle enough cheese to cover one slice of bread, top cheese with the chicken salad, sprinkle with more cheese and top with the other slice of bread.
• Grill and flip until each side is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

This recipe was even better than I expected it to be - It was AMAZING!!  I loved the combination of buffalo chicken with the Texas toast.  This was the first time I used Texas toast to make a grilled cheese sandwich and it is going to be hard to make one with wheat bread the next time.  It really makes the sandwich taste so much better.

I can't wait to make them again.  And I can't wait to see all the other fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches linked up to this month's Crazy Cooking Challenge.
