A homemade version of the ever so popular Banh Mi sandwich! This Vietnamese chicken sandwich is stuffed with tender, flavorful chicken, pickled carrots and daikon radish, cucumbers, and topped with sliced jalapeños, and cilantro. It is to DIE for! I could eat this Vietnamese sandwich for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
INGREDIENTS FOR 6 SERVINGS:
****THE CHICKEN:
– 1/2 Rotisserie chicken, shredded, and deboned (I bought it from Costco)
– 1 brown onion (sliced)
– 3 white-ended green onion (washed sliced)
– 2 tablespoons oil
– 2 teaspoons paprika
– 1 tablespoon crushed red chili (optional)
– 3 teaspoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sugar
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
****FRIED GARLIC & SHALLOTS:
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 tablespoon sliced red shallots (I used dried one)
****FOR THE REST OF THE SANDWICH:
– 6 baguettes (lightly toast)
– 1 bunch of cilantro (washed and cut about 3 inches long)
– 2 jalapenos (washed and sliced)
– 1 cucumber (washed and thinly sliced)
– 1.5 cups of pickled carrots and daikon (please see my “pickled carrots and daikon” video)
– 1/2 cup mayo
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
ASSEMBLE BANH MI:
Toast the baguettes if desired, spread mayonnaise on bread and top with chicken, pickled carrots and daikon, cilantro, and jalapeño slices. Serve warm.
NOTES:
– If you’re trying to make this recipe on a weeknight, I suggest letting the pickled carrots-daikon, and the chicken hang out in the fridge from the night before. That way, it takes about 20 minutes to whip all of this up the next day.
– If you like your Vietnamese Chicken Sandwiches spicy, feel free to drizzle on a little sriracha for even more heat. I love the spice level and borderline obsessed with the flavor of freshly sliced jalapeños, so I skipped the sriracha all together.
