Take two slices of bread for one sandwich. Spread a generous amount of the prepared chicken filling evenly on one side of each bread slice. For each sandwich, place one cheese slice on top of the chicken filling on one bread slice, and another cheese slice on top of the chicken filling on the second bread slice. Carefully combine the two bread slices, with the filling and cheese facing inwards, to form a sandwich.

Once the butter is melted and sizzling, place one assembled sandwich in the pan.
