Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Gluten-free baguettes
- 1 pound Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Pickled carrots and daikon
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 medium Jalapeño, sliced
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the marinated chicken strips for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char.
Slice the gluten-free baguettes lengthwise and toast them lightly in an oven or on a skillet until they are crispy.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper to prepare the banh mi sauce.
Spread the banh mi sauce evenly on the inside of the toasted baguettes.
Layer the cooked chicken, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, cilantro, and jalapeño slices on the baguettes.
Press the top halves of the baguettes firmly onto the fillings to help them stay in place.
Cut each baguette into halves or thirds and serve your gluten-free chicken banh mi sandwiches immediately.
