Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

8 mini waffles (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)

Cooking spray or butter for grilling

Optional: Pickles or jalapeños for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill/Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or panini press over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce. Stir until chicken is well coated with the sauce.

      Assemble the Mini Melts: Place 4 mini waffles on a flat surface. On each waffle, layer with a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture, followed by a sprinkle of both cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Add any additional toppings, such as pickles or jalapeños, if desired.

        Top it Off: Place the remaining 4 mini waffles on top, creating a sandwich.

          Cook the Melts: Carefully place the assembled mini BBQ chicken waffle melts in the skillet or panini press. If using a skillet, press down gently with a spatula. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the waffles are golden brown and the cheese is melted. If using a panini press, close the lid and grill for about 4-5 minutes.

            Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the mini melts from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute, then slice them in half if desired. Garnish with chopped green onions.

              Enjoy: Serve warm with extra BBQ sauce on the side for dipping.
