Pulled Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
I don't normally love regular grilled cheese, but I really really like them when it's more than just cheese and bread. This recipe looked delicious so I gave it a try. Here it is:
The pickles sounded super, super weird to me, (and kind of gross) but I decided to be brave and throw them in anyway. I can't say I loved the pickles in there, but they weren't nearly as bad as I feared. My husband, however, thought the pickles were amazing. According to him, they made the sandwich. Haha. Anyway, this is a great way to add more fun to your grilled cheese and make them more "adult-friendly," so I highly recommend them. Definitely delicious. (And if you hate pickles, just omit them. Still great).
Oh, and I cooked my chicken in the oven, shredded it, and added the BBQ sauce to it before making the sandwiches. In my opinion, this was easier than cooking the chicken on the stove.
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce
8 dill pickle slices
8 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices white bread
butter (for spreading)
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce
8 dill pickle slices
8 slices cheddar cheese
8 slices white bread
butter (for spreading)
Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Add chicken to a sauce pan or a large deep skillet. Fill with enough water to cover the chicken and bring to a boil. Boil until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees). Drain any excess liquid from the pan and shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the sauce pan and mix with BBQ sauce. Cook on low heat until heated through.
Step 2: Heat a skillet to medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two of the slices into the skillet butter side down. Top each slice of bread in the skillet with 1 slice of cheese, pulled chicken, 2 dill pickle slices, and another slice of cheese. Cover with 2 of remaining bread slices, butter side up.
Step 3: Cook the sandwiches over medium heat until browned on the bottom. Flip them over and cook until browned on the other side and the cheese has melted. Repeat the process with the 2 additional sandwiches.
(Makes 4 Servings)
