Today kicks off National Grilled Cheese Month, so to start, I made a smoky BBQ sauce to put on a grilled chicken and buffalo mozzarella grilled cheese!
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper and grill on a heated grill pan until the chicken is cooked through. Let cool. Once cool, slice on a bias and set aside. Spread the BBQ sauce (recipe below) on the ciabatta bread. Pile on the chicken, mozzarella, red onion, and cilantro. Place the sandwich onto a panini press and grill until the cheese melts.
Smoky BBQ Sauce:
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and reduce by at least half until the sauce has thickened. Remove from the pan and package in an airtight container and use as needed.

I made this for a recipe exchange group that I am in and it was a huge hit. Very tasty and the flavors mix wonderfuly together. When I make this again I will cut the salt in the BBQ Sauce by 1/2 and only use 1 1/2 tsp of salt. The sauce came out a little salty for my taste. I didn’t salt the chicken when i cooked it, just used pepper. And it was perfect. I will deffinetly make this again.

We busted out the grill for the first time tonight and grilled some chicken breasts to make these delicious sandwiches! My husband and brother-in-law and I loved them – thanks for the great recipe!
