Easy BBQ Chicken And Pineapple Grilled Chees

BBQ Chicken And Pineapple Grilled Cheese is a crispy, cheesy sandwich packed with saucy chicken and sweet pineapple for a quick, tropical-style comfort bite.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup sweet and spicy BBQ sauce divided
  • 8 slices thick bread sourdough, white, or whole wheat
  • 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 12 thin pineapple strips fresh or canned
  • Butter for spreading
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat chicken with ½ cup BBQ sauce and bake in a dish for 20 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool slightly.
  • Shred chicken with two forks. Mix with remaining ½ cup BBQ sauce.
  • Butter one side of each bread slice. On the unbuttered side of four slices, layer ¼ cup cheese, BBQ chicken, 3 pineapple strips, and another ¼ cup cheese. Top with remaining bread, buttered side out.
  • Spray a skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium. Grill two sandwiches at a time, 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and melty. Repeat.
  • Cut in half and serve hot.
