Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Savory sandwich with buffalo chicken, Caesar dressing, and melted cheese on golden grilled bread.

# What You'll 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the spicy mixture.
02 - Lay out all bread slices. Spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
03 - On four prepared bread slices, layer provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, and Parmesan cheese. Place an additional provolone slice on top to bind the filling.
04 - Top each sandwich with remaining bread slices, Caesar dressing side facing inward. Spread softened butter generously on the exterior of both bread faces.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches in the pan and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until bread achieves deep golden color and cheese is fully melted.
06 - Remove sandwiches from heat and allow to rest for 1 to 2 minutes. Slice diagonally and serve immediately. Offer extra buffalo sauce on the side for those seeking additional heat.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Its the perfect mashup of spicy buffalo wings and classic Caesar flavors
  • The crispy crunch from grilling creates texture that makes every bite exciting
02 -
  • Dont skip the buttering step on the bread exterior or you'll miss that gorgeous golden crunch
  • The lettuce layer actually stays crisp because it's protected from direct heat by the cheese
03 -
  • Low and slow is better than rushing with high heat, or you'll burn the bread before the cheese melts
  • Let the sandwiches rest for about a minute after grilling so the cheese sets slightly and doesn't gush everywhere when you slice
