Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 2 sandwiches

Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into small pieces

4 slices thick-cut bread

4 slices American cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup Buffalo sauce, plus more if desired

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping, optional

Sliced green onions for garnish, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the Blackstone

Preheat your Blackstone Griddle to medium-high heat on one side and medium-low on the other.

Add a little oil to the hotter cooking zone.

2. Cook the Chicken

Add the diced chicken to the griddle and spread it into a single layer.

Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Let the chicken cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes to develop some color before tossing.

Continue cooking until browned and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

3. Bring the Buffalo 🔥

Lower the heat underneath the chicken and add the Buffalo sauce.

Toss until every piece is coated and let it cook for another minute.

Move the chicken to the cooler side of the griddle.

4. Build the Sandwiches

Butter one side of each piece of bread.

Place two slices on the medium-low section of the Blackstone, buttered side down.

Layer each with:

American cheeseBuffalo chickenShredded mozzarellaAnother slice of American cheese

Top with the remaining bread, buttered side up.

5. Griddle Until Golden

Cook slowly until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Flip carefully and continue cooking the other side.

If the bread is browned before the cheese has completely melted, lower the heat and cover the sandwiches with a melting dome for about 30–60 seconds.

6. Slice & Serve

Pull the sandwiches from the Blackstone and let them rest for a minute before slicing.

Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing and a little extra Buffalo sauce if you're looking for more heat. 🔥

🔥 Bright Spots Pro Tip

Low and slow wins the grilled cheese game.

Don't crank the Blackstone trying to cook these faster. You'll end up with burnt bread and cold cheese.

Use that medium-low zone and give the cheese time to melt while the bread develops that beautiful golden crust.
