  2. 2 Toss in cooked shredded chicken, coating all the chicken pieces with the seasoning mixture, and heat through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in blue cheese crumbles.
  3. 3 Assemble the sandwiches by starting with a slice of Texas toast. Add one slice of Monterey Jack cheese, top with chicken mixture, add a second slice of cheese, then place another slice of toast on top, buttered-side up. Repeat for 4 sandwiches.

Turn down the heat if the sandwich is browning too fast. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sandwich and cook until the sandwich is brown on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Serve with additional wing sauce, if desired, ranch dressing, carrot strips, and celery sticks.

Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a covered bowl halfway with ice, add onion slices, and top with more ice. Add cold water until you're just able to get the lid on. Refrigerate for 3 hours.
  2. 2 Cut a slice off the top and bottom of each of the blood oranges, and slice downward to remove all skin and white pith. Be careful, as blood oranges will stain like beet juice. Cut oranges into 1/4-inch horizontal slices and remove seeds. Retain any juice and add to the juice of the navel orange. Put slices in a covered bowl or plastic bag with the olives and refrigerate for 3 hours along with onions.
  3. 3 Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, orange juice, sugar, mustard, oregano, pepper, and garlic powder in a jar with a lid, close, and shake well to combine. Refrigerate until 15 minutes before serving the salad. Remove from refrigerator to barely come to room temperature.
  4. 4 Drain onions and add to a large salad bowl. Add spinach, cherry tomatoes, onions, blood orange slices, and kalamata olives. Drizzle dressing on top and toss to combine. Sprinkle with blue cheese and macadamia nuts.
