Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced white onion
  • 1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
  • 1 pinch of garlic salt, or to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 French baguette
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper
  • 1 lime wedge

1Step 1

  • Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.

2Step 2

  • Place carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl. Pour in the cooled vinegar mixture and let marinate for at least 3o minutes.

3Step 3

  • While vegetables marinate, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
  • Sprinkle chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper.

4Step 4

  • Place chicken on the prepared pan and broil, turning once, until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 6 minutes per side.

5Step 5

  • Place chicken on a cutting board. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • Slice the baguette in half lengthwise. Pull out the soft center of the bread, leaving a cavity for the fillings.
  • Lightly toast the baguette under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drain off excess vinegar mixture after vegetables have marinated.

6Step 6

  • To assemble the sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise. Layer chicken on the bottom half of the bread. Top with cucumber, drained pickled vegetables, cilantro, and jalapeno.
  • Squeeze lime wedge over fillings and cover with the top half of the baguette.
  • Cut into two 6-inch sandwiches to serve.
