Spicy buffalo chicken meets creamy ranch and sharp cheddar in this bold, buttery grilled cheese sandwich.

# What You Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Cheese & Dressing

04 - 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

# How To Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat all chicken pieces.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread a thin layer of ranch dressing on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer half the cheddar cheese, then divide buffalo chicken mixture evenly among them. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese if using, and top with remaining cheddar cheese.
04 - Place remaining bread slices ranch-side down to close each sandwich.
05 - Spread softened butter on the outside of each sandwich, covering both top and bottom surfaces.
06 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook sandwiches 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
