Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Baguette
- 200 grams Chicken breast
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Vinegar
- 1 medium, julienned Carrot
- 1 medium, julienned Radish
- 1 small, seeded and sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 cup Cilantro
- 1 sliced Jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Season the chicken breast evenly with the mixture.
3. Grill the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly, then slice thinly.
4. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce and vinegar. Add the julienned carrots and radish, then let them sit for about 10 minutes to quick-pickle.
5. Cut the baguette into two equal halves, then split each half open. Hollow out some of the bread to have more room for the filling if desired.
6. Spread mayonnaise inside each baguette half.
7. Layer the sliced chicken, pickled carrots and radish, cucumber slices, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices in the baguette halves.
8. Drizzle with fresh lime juice before closing the sandwich.
9. Slice each baguette half into half again and serve immediately to enjoy a fresh and healthy Sugar-Free Classic Banh Mi Sandwich.
