Ingredients
BBQ Chicken:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 cups shredded roast chicken
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 12 slices Havarti cheese
Garlic Butter Bread:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons parsley, minced
- 12 slices sourdough bread or sturdy white bread
Directions
BBQ Chicken:
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
- Cook Onions: Add the sliced red onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded chicken, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and cook until everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
Garlic Butter Bread:
- Prepare Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Microwave until melted.
- Spread Butter: Lay 12 slices of bread on a work surface. Spread the melted butter mixture over each piece.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Turn each piece over. Layer 6 of the bread slices with 6 slices of Havarti cheese and the BBQ chicken mixture, dividing evenly. Add the remaining cheese over the top of the chicken and top with the remaining 6 slices of bread (both the bottom and the top should have the buttered side exposed).
- Cook Sandwiches: Set the buttered sandwiches in a large non-stick skillet. Place over medium heat and cook until the bottoms of the sandwiches are browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn sandwiches over, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking until the bottom is browned and the cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes longer.
