For the Chicken Marinade
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts Can replace with grilled shrimp, pork, or marinated tofu.

For the Sandwich Assembly
  • 1 piece Baguette Ciabatta or any crusty roll works as substitute.
  • 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise Greek yogurt is a lighter option.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until the sugar fully dissolves, creating a smooth marinade.
  2. Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, slice the cucumber, and julienne the carrot and daikon radish. Set aside.
  5. Take the toasted baguette, slice it open, spread mayonnaise, layer the sliced chicken, fresh veggies, cilantro, and jalapeño, then close and serve.
