For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices Sourdough Bread Thick slices provide the perfect structure.
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken (shredded) Use rotisserie or leftovers for convenience.
  • 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce Pick your favorite variety.
  • 4 slices Monterey Jack Cheese Swap for Pepper Jack for a spicier flavor.
  • 2 slices Cheddar Cheese Provides a sharp contrast to the Monterey Jack.
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion Diced; spring onion can be used for milder flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Pickled Jalapeños Adjust for heat tolerance.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter For grilling to achieve a golden texture.

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, diced red onion, and pickled jalapeños until well combined.
  2. Take two thick slices of sourdough bread and butter one side of each. In a frying pan, place the buttered slices with the butter-side down.
  3. On the unbuttered side of the bread, layer two slices of Monterey Jack cheese. Spoon half of the BBQ Chicken mixture over the cheese, then top with two slices of Cheddar cheese.
  4. Place another slice of buttered sourdough bread on top, ensuring the butter-side is facing up.
  5. Turn on heat to medium and grill the sandwich for about 4 minutes until golden-brown. Flip and grill for another 4 minutes.
  6. Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board, allow to rest for a minute, then slice in half and serve hot.
