Spicy buffalo chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, and melty cheese between crispy golden bread for the ultimate comfort sandwich.

# 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

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

# How to make it:

01 - In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter until evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Top each with another slice of provolone cheese.
04 - Place remaining bread slices on top of each sandwich with Caesar dressing side facing inward. Spread softened butter on the outside of each bread slice.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.
06 - Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, slice diagonally, and serve immediately. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the Caesar dressing cuts through the spicy buffalo sauce is absolute magic
  • That crunch from the bread against the melty cheese creates the most satisfying texture
  • Ready in 25 minutes but tastes like something you'd order at a restaurant
02 -
  • Dont skip the butter on the outside of the bread, it's what creates that irresistible golden crust
  • The lettuce goes inside the sandwich, not outside, so it stays crisp and cool against the hot chicken
  • Keep the heat at medium, not high, or you'll burn the bread before the cheese melts
03 -
  • Shred your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, it creates the most even golden crust
