Method
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce and sliced green onions until the chicken is thoroughly coated.
Lay out the slices of sourdough bread and spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on one side of each slice.
Distribute half of the shredded cheddar cheese onto four of the bread slices, placing it directly on top of the cream cheese.
Divide the sauced buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the cheese-covered slices.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the chicken, then top with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down.
Spread the softened butter generously on the outside tops and bottoms of the sandwiches.
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Grill the sandwiches for 3-5 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep time on busy nights.
Keep the heat at medium-low to ensure the cheese melts completely before the bread gets too dark.
Try spreading mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter for an extra crispy, golden crust.
Serve with a side of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping to balance the heat.
