Instructions

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft, about 2 minutes.

2. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

3. Add shredded chicken, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce; stir and cook until heated through, 2–3 minutes.

4. In a bowl, combine butter, garlic, and parsley. Microwave until melted.

5. Lay 12 slices of bread on a work surface. Spread butter mixture on each.

6. Turn over 6 slices, top with cheese, BBQ chicken, more cheese, then remaining bread (buttered side up).

7. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cheese melts, about 3–5 minutes per side.

Notes

Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.

Try cheddar or smoked gouda for a stronger cheese flavor.

Serve with tomato soup or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
