Barbecue chicken banh mi

A different way to serve barbecue chicken…and it’s so quick and easy. If I want to cut out the carb hit, I eat mine without the baguette.

INGREDIENTS

1 baguette

90g mayonnaise

1 barbecue chicken, skin removed and meat shredded

50g telegraph cucumber, thinly sliced

50g carrot, grated

INGREDIENTS FOR ADULTS

115g carrot, grated

100g daikon radish, grated

130g telegraph cucumber, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

coriander leaves, to serve

pickled jalapeno chillies, sliced, to serve

lime wedges, to serve

2 tablespoons sugar

METHOD

Cut the baguette into 4 equal portions.

DISH ONE

For the kids’ banh mi, slice a baguette portion in half lengthways then spread each half with ½ tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Add some chicken, cucumber slices and grated carrot and serve.

DISH TWO

Toss together the carrot, daikon, cucumber, vinegar, sugar and salt in a bowl. Leave the vegetables to marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes then drain off the excess vinegar mixture.

For the adults’ banh mi, cut the baguettes in half lengthways and spread each half with ½ tablespoon of the mayonnaise. Add some shredded chicken, pickled vegetables, coriander leaves and jalapeno. Squeeze over some fresh lime and serve.
