# Directions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onions until soft, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shredded chicken, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine and cook until heated through, approximately 2-3 minutes.

In a medium bowl, combine butter, garlic, and minced parsley. Microwave until melted.

Lay 12 slices of bread on a work surface. Spread melted butter mixture over each slice. Turn over the bread slices and layer 6 of them with 6 slices of cheese, dividing the BBQ chicken mixture evenly. Place another slice of cheese on top of the chicken before covering with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing out.
