Ingredients 

2 cups shredded Gold'n PlumpĀ® Deli Rotisserie Chicken
1/4 cup mesquite sauce
8 slices sour dough bread
4 tablespoons chipotle or roasted garlic mayonnaise
2 cups shredded Mexican quesadilla cheese or mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup white onion rings
2 medium tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 tablespoons butter

Instructions 

Mix together chicken and mesquite sauce; set aside. Spread each slice of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of mayonnaise. Top 4 bread slices each with 1/4 cup cheese, 1/2 cup chicken mixture, onion rings, tomato slices, and cilantro. Sprinkle each sandwich with remaining cheese and top with remaining bread slices.

Heat grill pan or skillet, over medium-high heat, until hot. Spread 1/2 tablespoon butter on top of each sandwich. Place sandwiches, butter side down, on grill pan. With remaining butter, butter top of each sandwich. Using a spatula, firmly press sandwiches together.

Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn sandwiches over, pressing firmly and continue cooking 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
