Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1.5 cups chicken, finely shredded (cooked and seasoned) Use leftover rotisserie chicken for an even easier prep.
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese Room temperature for easy mixing.
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce Use your favorite brand; Frank's RedHot works wonders!
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely diced Yellow onion adds nice sweetness.
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese Or more to taste; feta is a good substitute.
For the sandwich assembly
  • 8 slices bread A hearty sourdough or whole wheat is recommended.
  • 8 slices cheese Provolone or cheddar are excellent choices.
  • 4 leaves lettuce Crisp romaine or iceberg for crunch.
  • 8 slices tomato Fresh heirloom for vibrant colors.
  • 1 serving cooking spray Or butter to achieve that golden crust.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the finely shredded chicken, cream cheese, hot sauce, diced onion, and crumbled blue cheese. Microwave for 30-45 seconds until melted and creamy. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  2. Lay out your bread slices on a clean surface. Place cheese on 4 slices and evenly divide the buffalo chicken filling among them. Top with the remaining cheese and the other slices of bread.
Cooking
  1. Coat the sandwiches with cooking spray (or spread a thin layer of butter). Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the sandwiches for about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook for an additional 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on the other side.
  3. Transfer to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve topped with lettuce and tomato.

Notes

Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped tightly in foil and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months. Make-Ahead: Prepare the buffalo chicken filling a day in advance.
