Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough or other rustic whole-grain bread
  • 2 tablespoons apple butter
  • 4 slices (3/4 to 1 oz each) sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 4 oz thin slices cooked chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

Steps

  • 1
    On 1 side of 2 bread slices, evenly spread apple butter. Top each with 1 slice of cheese, half of the chicken, a second slice of cheese and remaining bread slices.
  • 2
    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium-low heat. Place sandwiches in skillet. Spread tops of bread with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cook 5 minutes, turning once, until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Easily change up this sandwich by using different kinds of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Muenster.
  • tip 2
    If you need to serve a crowd, this recipe can be doubled or tripled. Prepare all of the sandwiches first and then cook them all at once on a griddle.
