Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Print Version)

Bold grilled cheese sandwich with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, and melted cheese on crispy golden bread.

# What You'll Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for drizzling
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese

04 - 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

→ Caesar Layer

06 - 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
07 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, thinly shredded

→ Bread

08 - 8 slices sturdy country bread or sourdough
09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, and Parmesan cheese. Top each with an additional provolone slice.
04 - Place remaining bread slices, Caesar dressing side down, onto each sandwich. Spread softened butter on the exterior of both bread slices.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill each sandwich for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
06 - Remove sandwiches from heat, allow to cool slightly, slice diagonally, and serve immediately. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its the dinner answer when you want something spicy but need it to be ready in under 30 minutes
  • The way the Caesar dressing cools down the heat while the cheese pulls everything together is absolute magic
02 -
  • Medium heat is crucial here, high heat will burn the bread before the cheese has time to melt properly
  • Letting the sandwiches rest for even 60 seconds after grilling prevents that molten lava cheese escape when you cut into them
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it holds heat more evenly and creates the most beautiful golden crust
  • If your chicken is cold from the fridge, warm it slightly in the microwave before assembling, otherwise itll cool down your cheese before it can melt completely
