Delicious BBQ Chicken And Pineapple Grilled Cheese Recipe
Ingredients;
- 2 boneless , skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup sweet and spicy BBQ sauce , divided
- 8 slices good quality bread , such as sourdough
- 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese , grated on the largest setting
- 12 thinly sliced pineapple strips (you could also use canned pineapple , sliced thinly)
- butter
- nonstick spray
First , Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place chicken breasts into an oven safe baking dish , spread 1/2 cup BBQ sauce over chicken; Coat chicken with sauce. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Remove from oven and shred chicken with 2 forks. In a large bowl combine shredded chicken and 1/2 cup BBQ sauce; mix until evenly coated.
Taking 8 slices of bread , butter one side of each slice (only one side). Place bread butter side down , and lay all slices out in front of you. Spread 1/4 cup of cheese onto 4 slices of bread. On top of that cheese , spread one fourth of the chicken mixture onto each slice. Add 3 pineapple slices on top of the chicken , then top with the remaining cheese (should be about 1/4 cup on top of each slice). Taking the slices that have only been buttered , place them on top of the cheese layer , butter facing out. Press down with hand or spatula.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and spray with non stick spray. Place 2 sandwiches butter side down on the pan , and cook for 3-4 minutes , or until browned. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes or until browned. *Careful , they tend to cook fast on the second side. Repeat these steps until all sandwiches are cooked.
Cut sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
NOTES: These can also be made in the crock pot: Spray crock pot , add chicken , BBQ sauce (1 cup) , and pineapple. Cook for 4 hours on high. Remove chicken , shred. Follow directions above from step #3.
