Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Print Version)

Crispy sandwich with spicy buffalo chicken, Caesar dressing, and melted cheese on golden bread.

# What You 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 - Combine shredded chicken breast with buffalo sauce and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Toss until every piece of chicken is evenly coated with the spicy mixture.
02 - Lay out all eight bread slices on your work surface. Spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
03 - On four slices (dressing-side up), layer ingredients in this order: one slice provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded romaine lettuce, and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan. Place another slice of provolone on top of the Parmesan.
04 - Top each assembled sandwich with the remaining bread slices, placing the Caesar dressing side against the filling. Spread softened butter generously on the outside of both top and bottom bread slices.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula. Cook until bread turns deep golden brown and cheese melts completely.
06 - Remove sandwiches from heat and let rest for 1-2 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve hot. Drizzle additional buffalo sauce over the top if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Its the perfect marriage of bar food guilty pleasure and comforting homemade grilled cheese
  • The spicy buffalo cuts through the rich cheese while Caesar adds that familiar tangy punch
  • Ready in 25 minutes but tastes like something you'd order at a gastropub
02 -
  • Dont overload the sandwiches or the cheese wont melt properly before the bread burns
  • Medium low heat is your friend here high heat will burn the butter before the cheese gets gooey
  • The lettuce goes inside the sandwich, not on the side, so it wilts slightly from the residual heat
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the most even heat distribution
  • If your cheese isnt melting, cover the pan with a lid for a minute to trap the heat
