# What You'll Need:

→ Buffalo Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
02 - 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for drizzling
03 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

# How to Make It:

01 - In a bowl, combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and melted butter, tossing until evenly coated.
02 - Lay out all bread slices and spread Caesar dressing evenly on one side of each slice.
03 - On four bread slices, layer in order: provolone cheese, buffalo chicken mixture, shredded lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and another provolone slice.
