# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Toss your sandwiches into the big non-stick skillet set on medium. Cook until one side turns golden, about 3–5 minutes. Flip them over, lower the heat a bit, and cook the other side until it’s toasted and the cheese has melted, about 3–5 minutes more.
02 -
Flip your buttered bread over, then on six of them, set down one piece of cheese, then spread the BBQ chicken mix, and top with another cheese slice. Close each one up with the leftover bread; remember, the buttery side should be on the outside.
03 -
Line up all twelve bread slices on your counter. Slather them each with the garlic butter so they’re nice and even.
04 -
Drop garlic, parsley, and butter into a bowl. Heat in the microwave till melted, then stir till smooth.
05 -
Toss the pulled chicken, paprika, Worcestershire, and BBQ sauce into your skillet with the onions and garlic. Stir everything so it mixes well and let it warm through for a couple of minutes.
06 -
Pour olive oil into a good-sized skillet and warm it up on medium. Toss in the onions and cook till they’ve softened—should take a couple of minutes. Add the garlic and let it get nice and fragrant, about half a minute.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Let your sandwiches cool for a moment before you cut them—this way, the cheese stays gooey and your slices look neat.
