# Ingredient List:
→ Buffalo Chicken Filling
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (such as Frank's 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)
# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly until every piece of chicken is evenly coated with the spicy sauce mixture.
02 - Lay out all bread slices on a clean work surface. Spread a thin, even layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice, ensuring coverage to the edges.
03 - On four of the bread slices, sprinkle half of the sharp cheddar cheese. Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly across the prepared slices. Top with mozzarella cheese (if using) and finish with the remaining sharp cheddar cheese.
04 - Place the remaining four bread slices on top, ranch-side down, to complete the sandwiches. Press gently to help the layers adhere together.
05 - Spread softened butter generously on the outside of each sandwich, covering both the top and bottom bread surfaces completely for optimal golden browning.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread achieves deep golden brown color and cheese is fully melted.
07 - Remove sandwiches from heat and immediately slice each in half diagonally. Sprinkle with chopped green onions if desired. Serve while hot and cheese is still melted.
