Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1/2 cup fish sauce
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 chopped jalapeno
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (3-4 breasts)
For the Pickled Veggies:
- 1/2 cup hot tap water
- 1/4 cup cup rice vinegar
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 carrots, sliced thin on the bias
- 2 daikon radishes, sliced thin on the bias
For the Sandwiches:
- 6 soft sub rolls
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 cup cilantro leaves, or mint
- 1 sliced jalapeno for extra heat (optional)
Instructions
- For the chicken: In a baking dish, mix the fish sauce, lime juice sugar, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Add the chicken breasts to the dish, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Longer is better!
- For the pickled vegetables: Stir the hot tap water and sugar in a medium bowl, until the sugar dissolves. Add the vinegar, salt, crushed red pepper, sliced carrots and radishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken breasts for 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover the chicken with foil to rest for 5 minutes. Open the sub rolls and grill the insides for about 1-3 minute—until toasted.
- Drain the pickled veggies. Slice the chicken into thin pieces.
- Spread mayo over in the sub rolls. Layer the cucumbers, chicken, pickled veggies, cilantro leaves and jalapeños in the rolls. Serve immediately!
