Nashville Hot Chicken Melt

We’ve done our fair share of travelling around the US (and eaten more chicken sandwiches than we’d ever publicly admit) and we’re bringing all the best bits home in this epic hot chicken melt. With its smoky chipotle heat, Nashville fires up the chicken, then we layer it into generous sub rolls with a hit of spicy Nashville mayo and crunchy pickles. It’s messy, melty, spicy, and absolutely unforgettable.

ingredients

  • 3 generous chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 2 heaped tbsp Nashville seasoning (+ 1 tsp for mayo) 
  • 4 heaped tbsp mayo
  • 2 spoonfuls of pickle juice
  • 1 pickle, finely chopped
  • Oil for cooking
  • 2 large sub rolls
  • 4 slices of American Cheese
  • Sliced pickles

Directions

  1. Add the sliced chicken with 1 tbsp oil and the Nashville seasoning to a bowl, mix thoroughly, cover and marinate for a minimum of two hours (or overnight).
  2. Add the mayo, pickle brine, finely chopped pickle and another tsp of Nashville into a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Add some oil to the hot griddle and add the seasoned chicken strips, searing it on one side for a few minutes before flipping. Let it sear on the other side, then lay over the cheese. Let it melt in slightly, then use a spoon to mix it together. 
  4. Spread some of the mayo onto the rolls. Heat a griddle pan and toast them (mayo side down) for a few minutes until dark, golden and crispy. 
  5. Fill the rolls with the cheesy chicken, pickles and an extra drizzle of Nashville mayo. Adding another dusting of Nashville if you like things extra spicy…
