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
• 1 handful Cilantro leaves
• 1 Jalapeño, sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb flavors.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

In another small bowl, combine julienned carrots, daikon radish, and rice vinegar. Toss well and let them sit to pickle slightly.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise and lightly toast them for about 2 minutes until crisp.

Step 7

Spread a generous amount of edamame spread on both halves of each toasted baguette.

Step 8

Layer the sliced grilled chicken, pickled vegetables, cucumber, cilantro leaves, and jalapeño slices evenly over the bottom half of each baguette.

Step 9

Close the sandwich with the top half of the baguette, pressing gently.

Step 10

Cut the sandwiches into desired serving sizes and enjoy your protein-packed banh mi!
