I love a classic Nashville hot chicken sandwich, but as opposed to using breaded chicken, this version transforms it into a melt, with some pepper jack cheese and an extra creamy texture from the spicy mayo!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This chicken melt recipe was inspired by my many trips to Nashville. While binge-ordering hot chicken from different restaurants, I contemplated ideas on how to use the leftovers. Mixing the spicy chicken with melty cheese and extra sauce was so delicious that I had to take this concept to the grill and refine it!
