GRILLED PIMENTO CHEESE & CHICKEN SANDWICH

Cook bacon in batches over medium high heat in a cast iron skillet for 10-12 minutes, until crispy. Set aside on the plate lined with paper towels until ready to use.

Assemble the sandwiches: spread about a tablespoon of pimento cheese across each slice of bread. Top one slice with about a ¼ cup of shredded chicken lay two slices of bacon across the chicken and top with a slice of bread, pimento cheese side down.

Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of the bread and set aside. Repeat until all of the sandwiches have been assembled. Have ready a cast iron skillet or a large sauté pan warmed over low heat. Place sandwiches onto the pan. Cook 4 minutes, carefully flip using a spatula and press down on the sandwich to compress it slightly. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until perfectly golden and melty.
