Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté sliced red onion and minced garlic until softened.
Stir in shredded chicken, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and BBQ sauce; cook until heated through.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of half the slices, layer Havarti cheese followed by the BBQ chicken mixture and top with another slice of bread (buttered side up).
In the skillet over medium heat, cook sandwiches until golden brown on one side (3-4 minutes). Flip carefully and cook until the other side is golden and cheese melts.
Remove from skillet, let cool slightly before slicing, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.
