Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) BBQ sauce
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) smoked paprika
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (115g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup (55g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 slices (140g) sourdough or thick-cut Italian bread
  • 3 tbsp (42g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp (15g) mayonnaise

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken breast, BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Stir until the chicken is fully coated and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened butter and mayonnaise together. Spread this mixture generously on one side of each bread slice.
  3. Place the bread butter-side down on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on the non-buttered side.
  4. Layer half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella over the cream cheese.
  5. Spoon the BBQ chicken mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
  6. Top with the remaining shredded cheese and the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and place the sandwiches in the pan.
  8. Cover the pan with a lid for the first 3 minutes to trap heat and melt the cheese completely.
  9. Remove the lid and flip once the bottom is mahogany-colored and golden brown.
