Ingredients
Basil
¼ cup(s), leaves, packed
Cilantro
¼ cup(s), leaves, packed
Fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp
Lemongrass
1 Tbsp, finely chopped
Ginger root
1 Tbsp, finely chopped or grated
Canola oil
1 Tbsp
Garlic clove(s)
1 medium clove(s), finely chopped
Kosher salt
½ tsp
Black pepper
⅛ tsp, freshly ground (or to taste)
Sandwich thin(s)
4 roll(s)
Shredded carrot(s)
1 cup(s), finely grated
Cooking spray
2 spray(s)
Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast(s)
1 pound(s), four 4 oz pieces
Cucumber(s)
¼ medium, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a mini chopper or food processor, combine basil, cilantro, lime juice, lemongrass, ginger, oil, garlic, salt and pepper; pulse until smooth. Add water, 1 tsp at a time, to thin sauce (if desired). Spoon sauce in a small bowl and add carrots; toss to combine and set aside.
Coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.
Pound chicken until 1/4-inch thick. Season both sides of chicken with pepper, if desired (you don’t need salt because the sauce is very flavorful). Place chicken on grill and cook until browned and cooked through, flipping once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Place 1 piece of chicken on bottom half of a roll; top with 1/4 cup carrot mixture, 1/4 of cucumber slices, and a roll top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.
Serving size: 1 sandwich
