Buffalo Chicken Caesar Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Bold and savory sandwich featuring buffalo chicken, Caesar dressing, and melty cheese between crispy golden 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 for spreading

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer in order: provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, and Parmesan cheese sprinkle. Top each with another slice of provolone.
04 - Close each sandwich with remaining bread slices, Caesar dressing side facing inward. Spread softened butter on the outside of all bread surfaces.
05 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grill sandwiches for 3 to 4 minutes per side, applying gentle pressure, until bread is golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
06 - Remove from heat and allow sandwiches to cool slightly. Slice diagonally and serve immediately with extra buffalo sauce drizzled on top if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Spicy buffalo chicken meets the cool, creamy tang of Caesar dressing.

  • The addition of romaine lettuce provides a surprising and fresh crunch.
02 -
  • Check Caesar dressing ingredients for anchovies and egg if allergies are a concern.
  • Use sturdy country bread or sourdough to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy from the dressing.
  • Always verify labels for hidden allergens like dairy or gluten to ensure safety.
