What You Need for This Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Recipe

Ingredient Notes

• Buffalo Chicken: I have used crockpot shredded buffalo chicken.
• Cheddar Cheese: It makes this sandwich rich and cheesy. Make sure it is at room temperature, as that will allow the cheese to melt perfectly.
• Bread: I have used whole grains and seeds bread.
• Butter: It gives the sandwich an incredible crispness.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Chicken: I have used shredded buffalo chicken, but you can use whatever leftover chicken you have on hand. Just separate it from the bones and shred it.
• Cheese: I have used slices of cheddar cheese, but American cheese, Colby, or Swiss cheese are all great substitutes, too.
• Bread: I have used whole grains and seeds bread, but you may use whatever sandwich bread you have on hand.
