Ingredients 🛒

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
• 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese
• 4 slices bread
• Optional: sliced jalapeños

Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Mix the Filling 🥣

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken and BBQ sauce.

Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated and full of flavor.

2. Heat the Skillet 🔥

Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and let it warm up.

3. Build the Sandwich 🥪

Place one slice of bread into the warm skillet.

Spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the bread, then top with shredded cheese.

If you like a little extra heat, add a few sliced jalapeños on top. 🌶️

Place the second slice of bread over everything to make the sandwich.

4. Toast Until Golden ✨

Cook until the bottom slice is golden brown and crisp.

Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until it is toasted and the cheese is fully melted and gooey.

5. Repeat and Serve 🍽️

Repeat the same steps for the second melt.

Slice in half and serve warm while the cheese is still melty and the bread is nice and crisp.
