    The easy way to make Chicken Banh Mi Baguette Sandwich! A fresh, crunchy french baguette, filled with pickled carrots, chilli mayonnaise and roasted chicken! A delicious lunch, snack or even easy dinner.

    Easy Chicken Banh Mi recipe

    There is something so fresh and delicious about Vietnamese Banh Mi. A baguette sandwich that is full of flavours, crusty, fresh and so delicious.

    This blend of a French baguette and Vietnamese salad works so well together. Fresh, crunchy with a tang of pickled carrots and the spice of chilli mayonnaise!

    My son is probably the biggest fan of Banh Mi. It is probably his 'go to' lunch and the best thing is that it is filling ...the main criteria for a for teenage boy - it must taste good and it be filling! 

    I actually think he is a little addicted to them... but when I think about it, having a delicious, crunchy, salad roll for lunch everyday... no harm in that! 😉

    How to make easy Chicken Banh Mi at home!

     

    There is, of course, an easy way to make a delicious lunch time baguette..with a few easy tips...

    Tips to making Easy Chicken Banh Mi

     

    Tip Number 1 - Chicken

    For all the busy people out there... simply buying a roasted takeaway chicken is best way to start the Banh Mi experience. It also works well if you have leftover roasted chicken.

    You could also use leftover shredded pork or sliced ham.

    Tip Number 2 - Pickled Carrots

    The carrot mixture is really what gives Banh Mi that unique flavour.

    That is done by slightly pickling the carrots. The vinegar starts to soften the carrots and give it that extra boost of flavour!

    Tip Number 3 - The Baguette

    What makes Banh Mi so good is the crunch of the roll... so make sure you have fresh baguettes that are slightly toasted.

    You can make these Chicken Banh Mi, gluten free, simply by having gluten free chicken, using gluten free soy sauce and using gluten free rolls. If you need a gluten free baguette, click here.
