# What You'll Need:

01 - 4 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)

02 - 4 cooked chicken nuggets

03 - 4 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)

04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

05 - 2 tablespoons ketchup or honey mustard

06 - 2 lettuce leaves

01 - Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.

02 - Lightly spread butter on one side of each bread slice.

03 - Place two slices of bread, buttered side down, and top each with two slices of cheese.

04 - Arrange two warm chicken nuggets on top of the cheese on each sandwich, slicing nuggets in half if necessary to fit.

05 - Drizzle ketchup or honey mustard over the chicken nuggets as desired.

06 - Cover each sandwich with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.

07 - Place sandwiches in the preheated skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently, until bread is golden and cheese is melted.

08 - Remove from heat, let cool slightly, slice in half, and serve warm.

It bridges the gap between kid-friendly comfort food and something adults genuinely crave without apology.
Done in 20 minutes flat, making it perfect for those nights when you need dinner without the stress.
The contrast of crispy bread, melted cheese, and warm nuggets hits every texture note your mouth wants.

Medium heat is your friend here—too high and the bread burns before the inside warms through, too low and you end up with rubbery, deflated bread.
Butter-side down on the skillet is the secret to that crispy, golden exterior that makes this sandwich actually special.

If you're making multiple sandwiches at once, keep the finished ones warm in a low oven (250°F) while you cook the rest, so everyone gets hot, melted cheese at the same time.
A light press with the spatula while the sandwich cooks—not a hard smash, just gentle pressure—helps the cheese melt faster and the bread brown more evenly.
