Buffalo Chicken Ranch Grilled Cheese

# What You Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (such as Franks RedHot)

03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese & Dressing

04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

05 - 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (optional, for extra melt)

06 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing

→ Bread & Assembly

07 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty white bread

08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for spreading)

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and 1 tablespoon melted butter. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.

02 - Lay out the bread slices. Spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice.

03 - On four slices, layer half the cheddar cheese, then divide the buffalo chicken mixture evenly on top. Sprinkle with mozzarella (if using) and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

04 - Place the remaining bread slices ranch-side down to close the sandwiches.

05 - Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich (both top and bottom).

06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 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 warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

The hot sauce and cheese create this perfect sweet spot between spicy and comforting that nobody can resist
It comes together faster than ordering delivery and tastes way better than anything that arrives at your door

02 -

Medium heat is your friend here because high heat burns the bread before the cheese melts
Let the sandwiches rest for about a minute after cooking so the cheese sets slightly instead of running everywhere when you cut them
