No need to travel—you can experience a bit of Nashville’s most famous food right at home. This sheet-pan dinner sized for two starts with boneless skinless chicken breasts soaked in a spicy buttermilk marinade before being coated in toasted panko bread crumbs. It’s then added to a sheet pan alongside corn on the cob and Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Buttermilk Biscuits for a complete meal. Once it’s out of the oven, the chicken gets drizzled with a cayenne butter sauce for another hit of heat. Spicy, satisfying and super easy!
