Step-by-Step Instructions for BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich
  1. In a medium bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken with BBQ sauce, pickled jalapeños, and red onion. Mix until well-coated.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. In a cold skillet, lay one slice butter-side down, then layer Monterey Jack cheese, half of the chicken mixture, and Cheddar cheese.
  3. Place a second slice of bread on top, butter-side up. Heat the skillet over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Gently flip the sandwich and grill for another 3-4 minutes until crispy and cheese is melted.
  5. Let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing in half. Serve with chips or sweet potato wedges.
