2) Shape the mixture into a long, thick loaf and place in an oiled/greased baking dish. Be careful not to pack the meat too tightly or you'll end up with a very dense, tough loaf.

Grilled Cheesy Buffalo Chicken

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless chicken breast

black pepper

1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided

1 tsp. butter

1/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (or whatever hot sauce you choose)

1/4 tsp. celery salt

Directions

1) Preheat the grill to medium low heat.

2) Butter fly the chicken, by cutting it horizontally. Do not cut all the way through. Sprinkle the inside of the chicken with pepper. Evenly top the chicken with cheese and fold over the chicken to close it. It should look like the chicken breast before you cut it.

3) In a microwave safe bowl melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce and celery salt.

4) Brush one side of the chicken with the hot sauce mixture and place the hot sauce side down on the grill. Brush more hot sauce over the top of the chicken. Cook for about 7 minutes. Flip the chicken and brush on the remaining hot sauce and cook until no longer pink; about 5 minutes more (or until done).

5) Serve with any side you choose and ranch dressing if desired.

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: 15 minutes

Serves: 4

Depending on how spicy/hot you want this depends on what type of hot sauce you use...You can definitely change it up by trying different ones and maybe even changing up the cheese and use a Mexican blend instead..Definitely many different ways to make it your own...

With this recipe I'm not a huge fan of the sauce for the sloppy joes so I like to change things up a bit at times and make up my own. I'll use a BBQ sauce (any flavor you want) and then just add whatever types of seasonings that you want and that way you can also make it as spicy or not as spicy as you want. These really do come out great and definitely are not sloppy lol...
