Crispy Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This sandwich is a take on my Spicy Chicken Sandwich. I kept the chicken the same, but instead of a hamburger bun with lettuce and tomato, I used bread and made it a grilled cheese with bacon.

This sandwich is such a delicious combination of a spicy chicken sandwich and grilled cheese with some bacon added in, cause bacon makes everything better. The crispy spicy chicken and bacon pair so well with the melty cheese.

Crispy Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1/3 cup Franks Original Red Hot Sauce
• panko bread crumbs
• 8 slices bread
• 8 ounces cheese, shredded or sliced
• 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Put a rack onto a cookie sheet and spray the rack with cooking spray.
2. Combine the flour, pepper, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.
3. In another bowl pour the Franks sauce in.
4. In yet another bowl pour some panko bread crumbs in.
5. You will have three separate bowls at this point. Put the flour bowl first followed by the Franks bowl and last the panko bowl. This will make it easier for the dredging process.
6. Now take your chicken breasts and cut them to approximately the size of your buns (some hanging out is not a big deal you just don’t want too much hanging out.) If you chicken breasts are thicker than approximately 3/8 inch you will need to either pound them down or cook a bit longer in the oven.
7. Working with one chicken breast at a time, coat it in the flour mixture, then coat it in the Franks sauce, then coat it in the panko bread crumbs and then place onto the rack.
8. Once all chicken breasts have been dredged and coated put into oven for 20 minutes.
9. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
10. Sprinkle or place half of the cheese on 4 slices of bread.
11. Place the chicken on top of the cheese followed by the bacon slices.
12. Sprinkle or place the remaining cheese on top of the bacon followed by a slice of bread.
13. Carefully place the sandwiches into the hot skillet and cook on both sides until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown.

Enjoy!!!

You can use any cheese you would like, I use muenster cheese because that is one of our favorite.
