Prep
- Marinate chicken - Slice chicken in half to thin. Combine with soy sauce, first portion of oil, vinegar, and honey. Marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 day. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Make slaw - Whisk together second portion of oil, lime juice (portion for banh mi), fish sauce, and sugar. Add coleslaw mix and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 day. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
- Make Sriracha mayo - Combine mayonnaise, lime juice (portion for mayo), and Sriracha. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
- Pineapple / Jalapenos / Cilantro - Prep as directed.
Make
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and season on both sides with some salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet with third part of oil over medium heat. Add chicken and sear on both sides until cooked through, ~6 minutes total.
- Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
- While chicken rests, toss slaw and season it with some salt and pepper.
- Toast rolls / baguette if you’d like. (If the bread is fresh or very soft, you may want to skip toasting it.)
- Slice chicken into pieces that will easily fit inside the rolls / baguette.
- Assemble sandwiches by spreading Sriracha mayo on both sides of the rolls and filling them with chicken, jalapenos, slaw, and cilantro leaves.
- Enjoy sandwiches with pineapple on the side.

Pretty easy and tasty
Fun, tasty recipe!
Fast weeknight meal when prep was done- try it with pork!
Fantastic! I doubled the chicken to use with the sesame chicken noodle recipe too!
This was pretty tasty and came together quickly using the slaw mix instead of chopping everything myself!
Really really easy (once the chicken was marinating) and yummy!
