Instructions

Prepare the BBQ Chicken: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the barbecue sauce until evenly coated.
Assemble the Sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of four slices, layer a mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese, followed by a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture. Add red onion and cilantro if desired. Top with more cheese, then close with the remaining bread slices, buttered side out.
Cook the Sandwich: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Slice and serve hot.
