Calories: 600kcal
Ingredients
For the sandwich
- 1 cup shredded chicken adobo Use leftovers for the best flavor.
- 1 cup mixed cheese (mozzarella and cheddar) Mozzarella for stretch, cheddar for flavor.
- 4 slices bread (sourdough, white sandwich bread, or brioche) Thicker slices are easier to handle.
- 2 tablespoons butter or mayo Use butter for traditional flavor, mayo for better browning.
- optional sliced red onion, pickles, or adobo sauce For extra flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Warm the shredded chicken adobo in a pan.
- Build the sandwich by layering bread, cheese, chicken adobo, more cheese, and top with another slice of bread.
Cooking
- Butter the outside of the sandwich evenly.
- Cook the sandwich in a hot pan over low to medium heat until the cheese melts and the bread is golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Press the sandwich lightly with a spatula and flip once.
Notes
For a crispy exterior, do not overload the filling and keep the heat moderate. Optional hack: drizzle reduced adobo sauce inside the sandwich for added flavor without making the bread soggy.
