Spicy buffalo chicken combined with melted blue and mozzarella cheese on crispy sourdough bread.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce (plus extra if desired)

→ Cheese

03 - 1 cup crumbled blue cheese
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Bread & Spread

05 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty sandwich bread
06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

→ Optional Add-ins

07 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
08 - 1/4 cup finely diced celery

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, toss shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
02 - In a separate bowl, mix crumbled blue cheese with shredded mozzarella.
03 - Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Place four slices buttered side down on a flat surface.

05 - Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side facing up.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing lightly, until bread is golden and cheese has melted.
07 - Slice sandwiches and serve hot. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if preferred.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and bold but comes together faster than ordering takeout.
  • The blue cheese cuts through the spice in a way that makes you want another bite immediately.
  • You probably have most of these ingredients already lurking in your kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't let the skillet get too hot or the outside will burn before the cheese inside has finished melting—medium heat is your friend here.
  • Keep the heat medium and give each sandwich those full 3 to 4 minutes; rushing it means crispy outside and cold cheese inside, which defeats the whole purpose.
03 -
  • If you're cooking for a crowd, keep your skillet warm and work in batches instead of crowding everything in at once.
  • Slice your celery and green onions thin and fine so they don't make bites awkward or cause filling to escape when you bite down.
