Gluten Free Thai Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

Gluten Free Thai Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe

I really love sandwiches. When I first went gluten free many years ago, I gave up sandwiches because there just wasn’t any good gluten free bread available. I would spread egg and tuna salad on rice cakes and wrap lunch meat and cheese in lettuce, but seriously, that’s just not a sandwich!  Since I love sandwiches so much, I created a gluten free Thai chicken grilled cheese sandwich recipe.

I particularly love grilled cheese sandwiches. Sometimes I keep it simple – just cheese, mayo, butter, and bread – and sometimes I get creative. At times when I am feeling whimsical I dream of opening up a gluten free grilled cheese sandwich restaurant – grilled cheese sandwiches from around the world.

This recipe is Thai inspired – sort of like a grilled cheese sandwich and a chicken satay got married and had a baby. A really tasty, gooey, yummy baby.

For the chicken part, I took some leftover roasted chicken (I almost always have a rotisserie chicken on hand) and mixed it with some Sunbutter (keeping the sandwich nut free as well), orange marmalade, Thai basil leaves, and sriracha – how could that not be good?

If this recipe seems odd to you then I urge you to just take a leap of faith and give it a try. Come on, trust me. After all, I may someday be the world’s first gluten free grilled cheese restaurant owner.

    What brand bread do you use? I’m still trying to find one I like since being diagnosed Celiac and they’re so expensive…

      Cori,
      I used Canyon Bake House for this recipe. But you’re right, gluten-free bread can get expensive.
      xo,
