(Just thinking of a spicy bowl of b\u00fan b\u00f2 hu\u1ebf makes my mouth water!) My older brother was always taking us to try out local pho spots. I\u2019m so happy I was introduced to such an amazing cuisine! Surprisingly enough, it wasn\u2019t until later on in my life that I tried banh mi for the first time, and <em>holy cow<\/em> was it a game-changer.<\/p>\n<p>Banh mi sandwiches actually have a pretty interesting history. In the early 1900\u2019s, Vietnam was a French colony, so it only makes sense that there would be Vietnamese dishes with some French influence. Hence, the <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/french-baguette\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">baguette<\/a>! Besides the baguette, banh mi is chock full of all of those classic Vietnamese flavors you know and love; tangy pickled veggies, tender, savory meat, and of course some fresh cilantro! Banh mi comes in all different flavors and is made with all kinds of protein, but for my version today I\u2019m using grilled chicken breast! The great thing about making sandwiches at home is that you can customize them however you\u2019d like, so feel free to swap out the chicken for pork, steak, or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/perfect-air-fryer-tofu\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">tofu <\/a>instead!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-ingredients-for-chicken-banh-mi\">Ingredients for Chicken Banh Mi<\/h2>\n<p>From juicy chicken breast to pickled veggies, this sandwich is a flavor explosion waiting to happen. And the best part? You can customize it to your heart\u2019s content \u2013 extra jalapenos, hold the cilantro, add some <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/sriracha-mayo\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">sriracha mayo<\/a> \u2013 the possibilities are endless! Check out the recipe card below for the exact measurements I used.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast:<\/strong> It\u2019s tender and juicy when cooked correctly and makes for a great source of protein in your sandwich.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic Powder:<\/strong> Adds savory, garlicky goodness to the chicken breast. You can also use fresh minced garlic if you prefer!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong> <strong>and Black Pepper:<\/strong> The salt and pepper work together to enhance the flavor of the chicken. Add to taste!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive Oil:<\/strong> Used for searing the chicken in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow Onion:<\/strong> The sweet and tangy flavor of yellow onion pairs perfectly with the savory chicken and gives the sandwich a bit of crunch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian Bread or <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/french-baguette\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Baguette<\/a>:<\/strong> Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this is the ideal bread for a banh mi sandwich.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> This creamy spread gives the sandwich a bit of richness and tang, adding a delicious layer of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/pickled-carrots\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Pickled Carrots<\/a> and Daikon:<\/strong> These tangy and slightly sweet pickled vegetables are a staple in a traditional banh mi sandwich.

This herb adds a fresh and bright flavor to the banh mi sandwich.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-make-chicken-banh-mi\">How to Make Chicken Banh Mi<\/h2>\n<p>All it takes is a few steps of searing your chicken, saut\u00e9ing your onions, and then piling your delicious toppings on a soft, sliced baguette! I\u2019m sure this easy take on the traditional banh mi sandwich will become one of your new favorite lunch recipes.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Cook Chicken and Onions: <\/strong>Prepare your chicken by rubbing it with the garlic, salt, and pepper. Then set aside. In a medium skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saut\u00e9 your onions until soft and browned. Remove your onions from the skillet and add in your chicken. Then cook for about 8 minutes on each side. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Slice: <\/strong>Remove the chicken and onions from the skillet and then slice the chicken into about \u00bd inch thick pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cut Baguette, Add Toppings: <\/strong>While your chicken is cooking, slice your loaf lengthwise and open it to prepare it to fill. Spread the mayonnaise onto each side of the loaf, place your cooked and cut chicken inside the bread, then add the saut\u00e9ed onions on top of the chicken.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Layer With Veggies and Cilantro: <\/strong>Spread your pickled carrots and daikon over the chicken and onions, and the cucumber and jalapenos on top of the carrots. Lastly add your cilantro and salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enjoy: <\/strong>Close the sandwich and then cut in half.
