Buffalo Chicken Ranch Grilled Cheese (Printable Recipe)
Spicy buffalo chicken with ranch and melted cheese between crispy sourdough. Ready in just 20 minutes.
# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 -
3 tablespoons Frank's RedHot buffalo sauce
03 -
2 tablespoons ranch dressing, plus extra for spreading
04 -
4 slices sourdough bread
05 -
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
06 -
1/2 cup Muenster cheese, sliced
07 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until every piece is coated and absorbs the tangy spicy flavor.
02 -
Spread generous amount of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This ensures golden crispy crust during grilling.
03 -
Flip two bread slices so unbuttered side faces up. Spread layer of ranch dressing on each for creaminess in every bite.
04 -
Sprinkle sharp cheddar over ranch layer, covering every inch for full coverage and maximum cheese pull.
05 -
Pile spicy chicken mixture on top of cheddar in hearty, even layer from edge to edge without overcrowding.
06 -
Lay Muenster slices over chicken. The double cheese combination melts together for gooey center.
07 -
Place remaining bread slices on top with buttered side facing out. This locks in fillings and ensures both sides grill golden.
08 -
Heat cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook sandwiches 2-3 minutes per side, going slow and steady for deeply golden bread and fully melted cheese.
09 -
Remove from pan and let sit 1 minute before slicing. This sets the cheese and prevents molten mess.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use cast iron skillet for even browning and optimal crunch
02 -
Grill low and slow for best cheese melt without burning bread
03 -
Press lightly with spatula for uniform golden crust
04 -
Let sandwiches rest briefly before cutting to prevent filling spillage
