# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ BBQ Chicken Filling
01 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
02 -
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
03 -
3 cloves garlic, minced
04 -
350 grams shredded roasted chicken
05 -
0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
06 -
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
07 -
240 millilitres BBQ sauce
08 -
12 slices Havarti cheese
→ Garlic Butter Bread
09 -
60 grams unsalted butter
10 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
11 -
2 teaspoons parsley, finely chopped
12 -
12 slices sourdough bread or sturdy white bread
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced red onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until aromatic, approximately 30 seconds.
02 -
Add shredded roasted chicken, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients and cook until the mixture is fully heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
03 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unsalted butter, minced garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Microwave until the butter is melted and the herbs are evenly distributed.
04 -
Arrange all slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the melted garlic butter mixture over each slice, ensuring even coverage to the edges.
05 -
Turn the bread so the buttered side faces outward. On half of the slices, lay one slice of Havarti cheese, distribute the BBQ chicken mixture evenly, then top each with a second slice of Havarti. Close each sandwich with a remaining slice of bread, buttered side out.
06 -
Place sandwiches in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grill each side until golden and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Adjust heat to medium-low after flipping, grilling until the cheese is fully melted and both bread surfaces are deep golden.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Shredded rotisserie chicken delivers maximum flavor and simplifies preparation.
02 -
Let the sandwiches rest briefly after grilling to allow the molten cheese to settle before slicing.
