This BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich combines tender BBQ chicken, melty Havarti cheese, and garlic buttered bread for an irresistible, comforting meal. Perfect for lunch or dinner, this sandwich is sure to be a hit!
Ingredients:
BBQ Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ cups shredded roasted chicken
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 12 slices Havarti cheese
Garlic Butter Bread:
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons parsley, minced
- 12 slices sourdough bread (or sturdy white bread)
Directions:
1. Cook the BBQ Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Add Chicken and Sauce:
Add the shredded chicken, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Microwave until the butter is melted and everything is well mixed.
4. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Lay the 12 slices of bread on your work surface. Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of 6 slices, layer 1 slice of Havarti cheese, followed by the BBQ chicken mixture, and another slice of Havarti. Top with the remaining 6 slices of bread, ensuring the buttered side is on the outside.
5. Grill the Sandwiches:
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwiches in the skillet, cooking for 3-5 minutes until the bread is golden brown. Flip the sandwiches and reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese has melted.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
