Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I like them on the thinner side but thick is fine too)
1 teaspoon olive oil (can also use a chile infused oil for some zip)
1/4 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt (or powder to reduce sodium)
2 tablespoons sugar (can sub splenda)
3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1/2 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon vinegar (I use rice wine, but any variety will do or can also sub with lime juice)
1 cup broccoli slaw mix
1/2 cucumber, VERY thinly sliced (I like the English seedless variety)
cilantro (chopped) (optional)
hot pepper flakes (optional)
4 rolls, split (ciabatta bread is great but any bread choice will do)

Steps:

  • Drizzle olive oil over chicken breasts. Season with garlic salt.
  • Wrap rolls in foil to heat on grill, or if cooking chicken indoors just pop in toaster oven to lightly toast.
  • Chicken can be grilled outdoors or seared in a non stick skillet sprayed with Pam. Cook until done (10-15 minutes approximately depending on heat), without overcooking.
  • Meanwhile, while chicken is cooking, in a very small sauce pan combine sugar, ginger, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, oil, and vinegar. Heat over medium low while stirring until sugar is disolved and peanut butter is melted.
  • Assemble sandwiches by layering cucumbers on bottom of roll, top with chicken, followed by broccoli slaw (cilantro/hot pepper flakes if using too), then drizzle sauce over slaw. Top with upper bun.
