Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

¼ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons butter

¼ cup ranch dressing (optional, for serving)

2 tablespoons chopped celery (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce. Toss well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.

    Heat the Pan: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the pan.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of sourdough bread in the pan. Layer half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the bread. Add the buffalo chicken mixture over the cheese, and then top with the remaining cheddar cheese. Finally, place the second slice of bread on top.

        Cook the Sandwich: Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula. Add the remaining butter to the pan if needed, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.

          Serve: Once cooked, remove the sandwich from the pan and let it sit for a minute before slicing in half. Serve with ranch dressing on the side for dipping, and garnish with chopped celery if desired.
