I made this BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese with leftover chicken, and my oh my it came out so delicious. I used my Instant Pot BBQ Pulled Chicken to make this sandwich, but it can also be made with leftover carnitas.

Rumiano Cheese was kind enough to provide me with cheese, and their organic, non-GMO mozzarella cheese was perfect in this sandwich. The BBQ chicken turned this sandwich into a complete meal. Or should I say a completely delicious meal. The BBQ sauce mixed in with the melted cheese was perfection, and Aldo kept telling me how good this sandwich was after every bite.

BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 2 sandwiches
Author: Kate

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked chicken - (thighs or breasts, or a combination of both)
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • 4 slices bread
  • 4 thick slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Shred the cooked chicken with two forks and mix it with your favorite BBQ sauce.
  • Place a slice of mozzarella on two pieces of bread. Top each mozzarella slice with ½ cup of BBQ chicken, then place another mozzarella slice on top and finish off with another slice of bread.
  • Preheat a large skillet and melt ½ tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches on the skillet. Place something heavy on top of the sandwiches to press them together (a smaller skillet with two cans of beans works great!). Cook on one side for about 5 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese starts to melt. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, add the remaining butter to the skillet, and carefully flip sandwiches to cook the other side for about 5 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted.
  • Totally optional: If you wish, preheat a grill pan to high heat and place the sandwiches on the grill pan to get the nice grill marks.
  • Slice in half and serve hot.
