Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 whole Baguettes
- 1.5 cups Edamame, shelled and cooked
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 cup Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Daikon radish, julienned
- 1 Cucumber, sliced lengthwise

Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavors.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the edamame spread by blending cooked edamame, olive oil, and salt in a food processor until smooth. Set aside.
In another small bowl, combine julienned carrots, daikon radish, and rice vinegar. Toss well and let them sit to pickle slightly.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Once done, let them rest before slicing thinly.
Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise and lightly toast them for about 2 minutes until crisp.
Spread a generous amount of edamame spread on both halves of each toasted baguette.
Layer the sliced grilled chicken, pickled vegetables, cucumber, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices evenly over the bottom half of each baguette.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette, pressing gently.
Cut the sandwiches into desired serving sizes and enjoy your protein-packed banh mi!
