Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken meets creamy Caesar dressing in this bold, melty grilled cheese sandwich packed with flavor.

# 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 for spreading

# How To Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated throughout.
02 - Arrange 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 Parmesan cheese. Top each with an additional slice of provolone cheese.
04 - Close each sandwich with remaining bread slices, positioning 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 achieves golden color and cheese melts completely.
06 - Remove sandwiches from heat, allow slight cooling, slice diagonally, and serve immediately with additional buffalo sauce for drizzling if desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Its the perfect marriage of spicy buffalo wings and classic grilled cheese, combining two comfort food legends into one incredible sandwich
  • The Caesar dressing adds an unexpected creamy tang that cuts through the heat while the lettuce keeps it from feeling too heavy
02 -
  • Low and slow is better than high and fast, medium heat lets the cheese melt completely before the bread burns
  • Dont skip the butter on the outside, its what creates that irresistible golden crust that makes restaurant grilled cheese so superior
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet if you have one, the heavy weight presses the sandwiches evenly and creates superior crust
  • Letting the sandwiches rest for one minute after cooking prevents all that melty cheese from running out when you slice them
