Ingredients

• 2 pieces Gluten-free baguettes
• 1 pound Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (gluten-free)

• 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

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Cook the marinated chicken strips for 5-7 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a nice char.

Step 5

Slice the gluten-free baguettes lengthwise and toast them lightly in an oven or on a skillet until they are crispy.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper to prepare the banh mi sauce.

Step 7

Spread the banh mi sauce evenly on the inside of the toasted baguettes.

Step 8

Layer the cooked chicken, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber slices, cilantro, and jalapeño slices on the baguettes.

Step 9

Press the top halves of the baguettes firmly onto the fillings to help them stay in place.

Step 10

Cut each baguette into halves or thirds and serve your gluten-free chicken banh mi sandwiches immediately.
