1 Count tomato
1/4 Cup red onion

Assemble the melts
Measuring Cups

Keep the cooked chicken refrigerated until assembly, then proceed promptly.

1/4 Cup mayonnaise
8 Count sourdough bread
8 Ounce cheddar cheese

1 Count tomato
1/4 Cup red onion
0.13 Teaspoon Salt

Butter the sandwiches
Butter knife

Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, then spread softened butter over the outside of the sandwiches for even browning.

8 Count sourdough bread
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
3 Tablespoon butter
4
Toast the first side
Large skillet

Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat, add the sandwiches in batches if needed, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Use caution around the hot skillet to avoid burns.

5
Flip and finish cooking
Spatula
Large skillet

Flip carefully, press lightly with the spatula, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more until the bread is toasted and crisp and the cheddar is fully melted.

Flip slowly with the spatula so the hot filling does not shift or spill.
