Golden sourdough with melty goat cheese, juicy chicken, and spicy-sweet honey drizzle. A gourmet twist on classic comfort food.

# Ingredient List:

→ Bread & Cheese

01 - 4 slices sourdough bread
02 - 4 oz goat cheese, softened

→ Chicken

03 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded

→ Hot Honey

04 - 2 tbsp honey
05 - 0.5 to 1 tsp red chili flakes

06 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
07 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# Directions:

01 - Combine honey and red chili flakes in a small bowl, stirring until evenly mixed. Set aside for assembly.
02 - Lay out four sourdough slices on a clean work surface. Spread softened goat cheese evenly across one side of each slice.
03 - Distribute shredded chicken evenly over two of the cheese-coated slices. Drizzle each portion with hot honey mixture, reserving additional for finishing if desired. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
04 - Place remaining bread slices cheese-side down over the filled slices to create complete sandwiches.
