Shredded Chicken and Bánh Mì Bread

Method

Preparation of Shredded Chicken Bánh Mì

1

Cook the Chicken

In a pot, combine chicken thighs, minced garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

2

Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the pot, let it cool slightly, then shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

3

Prepare the Bánh Mì

Slice the Bánh mì rolls in half. Spread mayonnaise on each half. Fill the rolls with shredded chicken, followed by cucumber slices, shredded carrot, cilantro, and jalapeño slices if desired.
