Buffalo Chicken Ranch Grilled Cheese (Printable)

Spicy buffalo chicken, creamy ranch, and sharp cheddar melted between buttery golden bread for the ultimate comfort sandwich.

# What You'll 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
05 - 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
06 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing

→ Bread & Assembly

07 - 8 slices sourdough or hearty white bread
08 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
09 - 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

# How to Make It:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly to coat chicken evenly with sauce.
02 - Lay out 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, divide buffalo chicken mixture evenly on top, sprinkle mozzarella cheese, 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, coating 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.
07 - Remove from heat, slice sandwiches in half diagonally, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The spicy tang of buffalo sauce meets mellow ranch in one perfect bite
  • Ready in about 25 minutes but tastes like it came from a pub
02 -
  • Low and steady heat prevents burning the bread before the cheese melts
  • Letting the sandwiches rest for one minute after cooking keeps everything from oozing out when you slice
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the most even browning
  • Cover the pan with a lid for the last minute to ensure cheese melts completely
