Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the shredded chicken, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix butter, garlic, and parsley. Spread this butter mixture over one side of each bread slice.
  • Top the dry side of half the bread slices with Havarti cheese, then BBQ chicken mixture, and more cheese. Top with another slice of bread, butter side out.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook sandwiches 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden and cheese is melted.

Notes

Serve warm for the best experience, with any extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
