Chicken Preparation

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it cool slightly. Then use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Mix with Buffalo Sauce

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Melt Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place two slices, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Add Chicken and Cheese

    On each slice of bread in the skillet, layer half of the buffalo chicken mixture and top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 6

    Top and Toast

    Place the remaining slices of bread on top (buttered side up). Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip the sandwiches and toast the other side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, about another 3-4 minutes.

  4. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the melts from the skillet. Drizzle with creamy ranch dressing and sprinkle with chopped green onions before slicing and serving.
