Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cups Cabbage, finely shredded
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Sandwich rolls or buns
• 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, rice vinegar, mayonnaise, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 4

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Set the cooked chicken aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice it into thin strips.

Step 6

Toast the sandwich rolls or buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of hoisin sauce (optional) on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with sliced cucumber, a generous portion of the slaw, hoisin chicken slices, and fresh cilantro leaves. Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Hoisin Chicken Sandwich!
