Ingredients
  • 4 slices Sourdough bread thick-cut
  • 1 cup Cooked chicken breast shredded
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.25 cup Red onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter softened

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce until evenly coated.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread generously.
  3. Place two slices of bread, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Layer half of the cheddar cheese onto each slice.
  4. Top the cheese with the BBQ chicken mixture and the sliced red onions, then add the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Place the remaining bread slices on top, butter-side up. Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  6. Cook the sandwiches for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted.

Notes

For an extra crunch, add a few slices of pickled jalapeños or serve with a side of coleslaw.
