Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 cup Red cabbage, shredded
- 1 large Carrot, shredded
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
- 2 pieces Baguette or sandwich rolls
- 1 tablespoon Butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Cucumber slices
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes to make a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, shredded carrot, chopped cilantro, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Toss well and set aside.
In another small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, peanut butter, and sriracha sauce to create the peanut spread.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6–7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char. Transfer to a plate and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly.
Cut the baguette or sandwich rolls in half lengthwise and brush the cut sides with melted butter. Toast them on the grill pan or a skillet until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Spread a generous amount of the peanut spread on the bottom halves of the toasted rolls. Layer the sliced chicken, prepared slaw, and cucumber slices over the spread.
Top with the other half of the roll, cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
