👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the chicken
Slice chicken breasts in half, then cut into bite-sized squares. Toss with olive oil and Nashville hot seasoning until fully coated.
2. Make the sauce
In a bowl, mix mayo, Nashville seasoning, and pickle juice. Set aside.
3. Cook the chicken
Heat a pan over medium-high and cook chicken until browned and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes).
Optional: Sprinkle a little brown sugar at the end for that caramelized, slightly sweet heat.
4. Add cheese
Place pepper jack slices over the hot chicken and let melt.
5. Toast the buns
Warm buns in a skillet until golden.
6. Assemble
Spread sauce on both sides of the bun, add cheesy chicken, top with pickles, and drizzle extra sauce.

😮‍🔥 Pro Tips
• Don’t stress if the chicken looks a little dark — that’s flavor.
• More pickle juice = more tang (and it cuts the heat perfectly).
• Want it EXTRA crispy? Cook the chicken in a single layer without overcrowding.
