Tracking PixelWe are in the middle of moving. We have no utensils unpacked, and no kitchen table, but we still had an awesome dinner. I made BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese Sandwiches are they were insanely delicious. Let me tell you how I did it. 

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sara Lee® Artesano™ Bread.

Just because we're moving, doesn't mean the work stops! My life has been beyond crazy these past few months. The remodel is taking a bit longer than expected, but is coming along beautifully! This week has been spent moving in to our new house. The movers never showed up, so we wasted a day and then had to rent a truck to move everything ourselves.

I have been working around the clock, both at work and on the house. So again, things are really crazy. One thing I've tried to keep consistent is good food. I don't mean meh food. I'm talking comfort food that makes you feel good inside. The down home cooking our mama used to make. Tonight, I made grilled cheese. Not just ANY grilled cheese, a freakin' BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese.

Whatttt?

BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese

This bread is legit, ya'll. It held up to like a pound of cheese, plus mac and cheese, plus BBQ chicken. I've never seen a bread do that. Ever.

I, honestly, try not to eat a ton of bread. I absolutely love it but I'm always trying to be careful of my carbs. So, when I do, it's always a debate over which bread to buy. Should I buy white, should I buy wheat? Should I get something with seeds and nuts and crazy stuff, or no?

All which leads me to Sara Lee® Artesano™-style bread. It seems to win the debate hands down, every time. This hearty Italian bread holds strong under the weight of tons of cheese, and even better, crisps nicely when grilling.

Sara Lee® Artesano™-style bread is Sara Lee's newest addition. It's sliced thick with a soft texture, complemented by its golden crust. It would be killer to use in French Toast! I know that Walmart sells it so be sure to look for it there. 

This savory and cheesy sandwich will blow your mind with flavor!

Can You Really Call This Cooking? 

I don't know if you can call this a recipe, because I didn't do much cooking other than melting all the ingredients together. However, you can go all Suzy Homemaker and make everything from scratch if you'd like… so let's talk ingredients.

Bread – You know to use Sara Lee® Artesano™-style bread, right? Right. Be sure to use butter instead of just using pan spray. Butter makes everything better.

Next…

BBQ Chicken – You can make your own by throwing a few chicken breasts, along with a can of chicken broth, into your pressure cooker and setting the timer for about 20 minutes (if you have a “poultry setting”, use that). You could use a slow cooker if you have more time and just want to set it and forget it.

Mac & Cheese – You've got your own special recipe, I'm sure… so use it! I used pre-made mac and cheese but only because I literally can't find a pot to boil water in right now.

Extra Cheese – I used shredded cheddar cheese, but there are so many options for cheese… get creative! I like sharp cheddar with BBQ sauce, but white cheddar would be delicious, too.

grilled cheese with chicken

TIPS: Just like you'd make a regular grilled cheese, butter the skillet and the bread. Heat on medium low so the cheese has time to melt slowly without burning the bread. No cooking spray here. 

Add a few tablespoons of macaroni and cheese, top with shredded cheese. Add more BBQ chicken, top with more cheese. Grill until all ingredients are melted.

Serve with… oh wait, this is a meal in itself. Nevermind. Enjoy!!

    We bought this bread recently for “fancy sandwiches” and we all loved it. My son doesn’t want regular bread after eating this one.

    This looks soo good. Mac & cheese, bbq, and grilled cheese…..total triple threat. I’m gluten intolerant but gulten be damned! It can’t take away everything in life I love. lol

    I’m glad your move and remodel and everything are going well, even if taking longer than expected. Can’t wait to see your post about the place!

    This looks delicious! I am a sucker for cheese and I love me a good BBQ sandwich, what a great combo. Oh and lets not mention bread, I will eat the whole loaf if it is a great quality bread, which I am pretty sure Sara Lee is at the top of my yum list!

    That looks like something hubby and I would love. I think this one is really worth a try! I love what I call the hearty breads…not much of sliced white bread in a wrapper girl. I’m into the “fancy” breads!

    My kid loves this bread for his school lunch. It doesn’t get all nasty in the lunch bag like other breads. Also, yuum on the grilled cheese.
