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
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

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.
In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well-coated.
Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
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.
Place in a skillet over medium heat and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and melty inside.
Let it rest for a minute before slicing in half to reveal the gooey center.
