Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

8 slices sourdough bread thick-cut
4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce plus more for serving
2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
2 cups Monterey Jack cheese shredded
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles optional
2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
celery sticks for serving

Equipment

Large skillet or griddle
Mixing bowls
spatula
Cheese grater

Method

Mix cream cheese with 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce until smooth and well combined in a medium bowl.
Toss shredded chicken with remaining buffalo sauce in a separate bowl. Taste and adjust heat level to preference.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Flip four slices and spread cream cheese mixture on unbuttered sides.
Layer buffalo chicken, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheese over cream cheese. Add blue cheese crumbles if using.
Top with remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out. Press gently to compact.
Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese melts.
Cover pan for last minute to ensure cheese melts completely. Rest 2 minutes before cutting.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and extra buffalo sauce for dipping.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep time
Cover pan during cooking to melt cheese thoroughly
Let sandwiches rest before cutting to prevent cheese from oozing out
Adjust buffalo sauce amount based on heat preference
Thick-cut bread prevents sogginess
