Description
Bold, fiery, and loaded with flavor, these Spicy Nashville-Style Chicken Hoagies feature thin-sliced chicken tossed in hot seasoning, melty pepper jack cheese, spicy mayo, and crisp pickles all wrapped in a toasted hoagie roll — the ultimate spicy sandwich fix.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons oil, divided
- ¼ cup hot chicken seasoning or Nashville-style spice blend
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon pickle brine
- 1 tablespoon chopped chipotles (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons of the seasoning blend (from above)
- 2 hoagie rolls
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- Pickle slices, for topping
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.
- In a bowl, toss thinly sliced chicken with remaining oil and hot chicken seasoning until coated.
- Cook chicken in the hot skillet, stirring occasionally, for 3–5 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, pickle brine, chipotles (if using), and 1–2 teaspoons of the spice blend to make the spicy mayo.
- Toast hoagie rolls if desired. Add a slice of pepper jack to each bottom half, then layer with hot chicken so the cheese melts slightly.
- Top with spicy mayo and pickle slices. Close with the top half of the rolls.
- Serve warm with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Adjust heat by using more or less seasoning and chipotles.
- To avoid sogginess, toast your rolls before assembling.
- Use gloves when handling hot spices or chipotles.
- Leftover chicken works great in tacos, wraps, or salads.
