Instructions:
- Begin by trimming any excess fat from the chicken breasts.
- Optionally, you can tenderize the chicken slightly to ensure even cooking.
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces for easier assembly in the sandwich.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes. Ensure that the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- About 2 minutes before the chicken is done, add the 1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce to the skillet and mix well to coat the chicken evenly. Let it simmer for the remaining cooking time until the sauce thickens slightly.
- While the chicken is cooking, slice the baguette into two even pieces if not pre-sliced.
- Optionally, you can toast the slices in an oven or toaster for a crispier texture. A light toasting for 3-5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) will add a nice crunch to the sandwich.
- Lay out the bottom slice of the baguette on your working surface.
- Evenly place the cooked teriyaki chicken pieces over the bread slice.
- Drizzle the chicken with 1 tsp of pepper sauce for a tangy kick.
- Layer 3 slices of tomatoes on top of the chicken.
- Add 2 leaves of fresh lettuce on top of the tomatoes for some crispness and color.
- Finally, top with the second slice of the baguette to complete your sandwich.
- Slice the sandwich in half if desired to make it easier to handle.
- Serve immediately while the chicken is still warm and enjoy your delicious Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich!
