Here is another addition to my grilled cheese recipes. Made these up for yesterday’s lunch, and everyone liked them enough that I was requested to put them on the lockdown rotation. I made it two ways: In a panini press, and in a skillet… both were well received. They are easy/peasy to put together, plus you can modify the recipe with what you have on hand. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make comfort essentials: grilled chicken cheese sammie

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 3

Finely dice the chicken, and sauté with a bit of butter, salt and pepper, until cooked through. Allow the chicken to cool, then add to a bowl and with the other ingredients and combine.
Step 4

Spread half the mixture to one side of a slice of bread, place another bread slice on top, then butter the outside of bread slices. Do the same for the other sandwich.
Step 5

Add some avocado, tomatoes, pickles, or other goodies at this time.
Step 6

Place into a hot pan, over medium heat.Bake until the bread is toasty, and the cheese is nice and melty, about 2 – 3 minutes per side.
Step 7

I also did this in a panini press.
Step 8

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 9

Serve with some chips or other items, and maybe a nice tall cold one. Enjoy.
Step 10

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
