Take your grilled cheese sandwich to the next level with spicy buffalo chicken, two kinds of cheese, and ranch or blue cheese for dipping with my Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich.

Happy Easter to everyone who celebrates!   To is a special day.  Not only is it Easter but it’s also National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day!  Since I am a huge fan of the grilled cheese sandwich I couldn’t let this day go past without sharing one of my favorites.

When thinking about the prefect grilled cheese I had a hard time because I’ve posted some pretty awesome ones in the past.  I have the Pizza Grilled Cheese which is a kid favorite, the Strawberry French Toast Grilled Cheese which is awesome for breakfast or dessert, and the Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese which is sure to be a crowd pleaser.  I have another handful of grilled cheese recipes on my blog so it was hard to come up with one that I haven’t shared before.

That’s when I came up with the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich.  I mean, who doesn’t like buffalo chicken with cheese?   All I had to do was put it on a toasted bun and add some dipping sauce and I was done.

The best part about this sandwich is that I had a pound and a half of chicken so I was able to cook it all then divide it in half for two different dinners.  I used half to make soup and the other half to make these sandwiches.  I love being able to cook once and use it for two totally different recipes.

In this sandwich I used mozzarella cheese and American cheese but really you could use any two cheeses you would like.  I think the mozzarella is a good choice but blue cheese would be a great second choice if you like it.  I also think that gouda would be good on this one.

This sandwich ended up being super yummy.  We served it along with fries which made for an easy dinner.  The sandwich was buttery, spicy, and full of cheese and I really enjoyed dipping it into Ranch dressing to cool it down.
