    As if BBQ chicken sandwiches weren’t delicious enough! Combining them with grilled cheese sandwiches will send your tastebuds into a frenzy. I love the flavor combination of dill pickles with barbecue chicken. Do not go light on the pickles. They make the sandwich!

    Have I told you that we are going on another RV trip this year? It won’t be nearly as epic as last year’s, but we are excited nonetheless. This year’s adventure will involve only a handful of states, but we will be able to explore them more thoroughly (sooo excited for more Montana time!). And this time we will have a house to come back to. Crazy!


    So guess what I’ll be doing for the next week? Among other things, I will be cleaning out the food in our fridge and freezer. We have chicken that needs to be used up and it WILL be put into these delicious BBQ Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwiches a handful of times. These are so good, you guys. Please do not go light on the pickles. They transform the sandwich into an outstanding one!

    I’m off to enjoy some pool time before lunch! Enjoy the rest of your week, friends!

    Here are a few other grilled cheese sandwiches you may enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups chicken cooked and shredded
    • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
    • 4 slices white bread
    • 4 tbsp. salted butter at room temperature
