                                Ingredients
For The Vietnamese Chicken:
- 1 pound chicken breast
 - 1/2 cup fish sauce
 - 1/2 cup lime juice
 - 1/4 cup sugar
 - 4 cloves garlic chopped
 - 1 Jalapeño chopped
 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
 
For the Vietnamese Salad:
- 1 cup sliced cucumber heaping
 - 1 bunch radishes sliced
 - 1 bunch green onions chopped
 - 1 cup shredded carrot
 - 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro
 - 1 head romaine lettuce roughly chopped
 - 1/2 cup hot tap water
 - 1/4 cup rice vinegar
 - 1/4 cup sugar
 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
 
For the Banh Mi Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons reserved vinegar mixture
 - 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
 - salt and pepper
 
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the chicken marinade in a baking dish. Place the chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
 - Meanwhile, chop the vegetables for the salad. Mix the hot water, vinegar, red pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Then place the cucumbers and radishes in the mixture to pickle. Toss and set aside.
 - Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes per side, then cover with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
 - Place the romaine lettuce on dinner plates, topped with carrots, pickled cucumbers and radishes, sliced chicken, cilantro and green onions.
 - Mix 2 tablespoons of the pickling vinegar liquid with mayo and olive oil. Whisk well and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle over the top of the salads.
 
Notes
- The pickled veggies, grilled chicken, and dressing will keep well in separate containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
