Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Printable Version)

Bold and savory grilled cheese with spicy buffalo chicken, creamy Caesar dressing, and melty cheese between crispy bread.

# What You 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 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated throughout.
02 - Lay out bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, and Parmesan cheese sprinkle. Top each with another provolone slice.
04 - Place remaining bread slices on top with Caesar dressing side facing inward. Spread softened butter generously on the exterior of each sandwich.
05 - Heat large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until bread achieves golden color and cheese melts completely.
06 - Remove from heat, allow brief cooling, slice diagonally, and serve immediately. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way spicy buffalo sauce gets tamed by cool creamy Caesar will make you wonder why you ever ate these flavors separately
  • This sandwich transforms ordinary grilled cheese into something that feels like cheating but takes barely any extra effort
02 -
  • Low and slow cooking will make your bread soggy before it gets crispy so medium heat is your friend here
  • The lettuce placement matters so put it between the chicken and top cheese layer or it will wilt completely
03 -
  • Mayo mixed with the butter on the outside creates an even crunchier crust that will change your grilled cheese life
  • A brief press with a spatula helps the cheese melt evenly without making the bread too dense
