Why This BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese is a Winner

Preparing Your BBQ Chicken Filling
The secret to a great BBQ chicken grilled cheese is perfectly shredded chicken that soaks in the sauce without becoming watery. For this step, a reliable Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen, Elegant Black makes shredding a breeze, resulting in tender, bite-sized pieces. Toss the shredded chicken with your favorite barbecue sauce and let it rest a few minutes so the flavors fully meld into the meat.
How to Build a Perfect Grilled Cheese
Start with a hearty bread—like sourdough or country white—spread with butter for maximum toasty flavor. Layer cheddar and mozzarella for that extra-melty pull, then pile on your BBQ chicken mixture. To add a fresh crunch, slice some onions or peppers quickly and safely using the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. Stack another slice of cheese on top for a gooey seal, then finish with the second slice of bread.
Cook your sandwich over medium heat in a quality nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for even browning. Gently press the sandwich with a spatula to help the cheese melt and the bread crisp up beautifully.
