Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, mixing thoroughly until the chicken is well coated.
  2. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and bubble.
  3. On a slice of your chosen bread, generously spread half of the BBQ chicken mixture. Add a layer of mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle some cheddar for extra flavor.
