Buffalo Chicken Ranch Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken, creamy ranch, and sharp cheddar melted between buttery, golden sourdough bread for an irresistible sandwich.

# Components:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese & Dressing

04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
05 - 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
06 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing

→ Bread & Assembly

07 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty white bread
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

# Method:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until chicken is evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer half the cheddar cheese, then divide buffalo chicken mixture evenly among them. Top with mozzarella cheese and remaining cheddar cheese.
04 - Place remaining bread slices ranch-side down over each filled slice to complete sandwiches.
05 - Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, covering both top and bottom surfaces.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
07 - Remove from heat, slice sandwiches in half diagonally, garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The tangy heat of buffalo sauce meets the cooling cream of ranch in perfect harmony
  • Melting sharp cheddar between buttery bread creates that irresistible crunch and gooey center
02 -
  • Medium heat is essential because high heat will burn the bread before the cheese melts
  • Letting the sandwiches rest for 30 seconds after cooking prevents the cheese from oozing out when you slice them
03 -
  • Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre shredded for the best melting texture
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one for the most even heat distribution
