Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, and melted cheese between crispy golden bread. Ready in 25 minutes.

# 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

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated throughout.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, create layers in order: provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, Parmesan cheese sprinkle, and top with another provolone slice.
04 - Close each sandwich with remaining bread slices, Caesar dressing side facing inward. Spread softened butter on exterior surfaces of all bread slices.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place sandwiches on cooking surface and grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until bread achieves golden color and cheese melts completely.
06 - Remove from heat and allow sandwiches to cool briefly. Slice diagonally if desired and serve immediately. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce as preferred.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The spicy buffalo and cool Caesar create perfect balance in every bite
  • Ready in 25 minutes using ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Low and slow heat prevents burning while ensuring the cheese melts through the entire sandwich
  • The Caesar dressing goes on the inside only, or it will burn and taste bitter
03 -
  • Add a sprinkle of garlic powder to the buffalo chicken for extra depth
  • Let the sandwich rest 60 seconds after grilling before cutting
