Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the chicken breasts with olive oil and the spice mixture.
Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
Let the chicken cool slightly, then slice thinly.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
In another bowl, toss coleslaw mix with apple cider vinegar and sugar.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture on one side of each slice of bread.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on four slices of bread.
Layer sliced chicken on top of the cheese.
Add coleslaw on top of the chicken.
Place another slice of cheddar cheese over the coleslaw.
Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Grill each sandwich in the skillet until golden brown and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from skillet, slice in half, and serve warm.

Notes

Coat the chicken thoroughly with olive oil and spices for even flavor.
Rest the chicken post-baking to keep it juicy and easy to slice.
Let the coleslaw sit with vinegar and sugar for extra creaminess.
