To Prepare Chicken & Ginger Carrot Coulis Baguette
- 1. Trim all the fat off the chicken and butterfly to flatten to even thickness. To do this, start on the thicker side of the chicken. Hold a knife parallel to the cutting surface. Slice the chicken almost entirely in half, stopping at about ¼-inch from the other side. Open the chicken like a book. Pat dry to make chicken evenly thick.
- 2. Brush the chicken with oil and season with pepper on both sides.
- 3. Preheat grill or sauté pan. Coat with cooking oil spray. Place the seasoned chicken and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until well marked.
- 4. Transfer to a sheet tray and roast in a preheated 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 5 minutes or until fully cooked. Allow cooling for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing into ¼-inch pieces. Use immediately. Or, cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use. Divide into four portions.
- 5. Split 1 baguette or 1 piece of baguette in half, leaving one side hinged. Spread 2 teaspoons of the ginger carrot coulis on both the top and bottom of the baguette.
- 6. In order, top the bottom of the baguette with:
-1 serving of sliced chicken
-1/2 cup marinated bok choy
-2 Tablespoons sliced radish. - 7. Place the top of the baguette on the sandwich to close. Enjoy immediately!
