Ingredients
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce until well coated.
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place one slice of bread, butter side down, onto the skillet. Top with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of the BBQ chicken mixture, optional red onion slices, and fresh cilantro. Add another 1/4 cup of cheese on top.
- Place another slice of bread on top, butter side up.

- Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make more sandwiches.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
