Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 slices sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked. Shred while warm.
  2. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well-coated.
  3. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
  4. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer half of the cheddar and mozzarella, followed by a generous amount of BBQ chicken mixture. Top with remaining cheese and another slice of buttered bread.
  5. Place in a skillet over medium heat and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and melty inside.
  6. Let it rest for a minute before slicing in half to reveal the gooey center.
