Description
A delicious Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich featuring caramelized chicken and fresh slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup Korean BBQ sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 sandwich buns
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1/2 cup carrots, shredded
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by preparing the chicken. Slice the chicken breasts into even cutlets so they cook quickly and evenly. Season them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. As they hit the hot skillet or grill, you’ll hear that familiar sizzle that signals something delicious is on the way.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown and fully cooked. In the final minutes, brush each piece generously with Korean BBQ sauce. Let it caramelize slightly, creating that sticky, glossy coating that defines a great Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich.
- While the chicken cooks, prepare the slaw. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. Add mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until evenly coated. The slaw should be crisp, slightly creamy, and just tangy enough to balance the rich chicken.
- Lightly toast your sandwich buns. This step adds a subtle crunch and helps hold everything together.
- To assemble, place the glazed chicken onto the bottom half of each bun. Top generously with cabbage slaw, then close with the top bun. The combination of warm, saucy chicken and cool, crunchy slaw is what makes this Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich so memorable.
Notes
- This sandwich pairs well with pickles or spicy mayo for an extra kick.
- You can substitute chicken breasts with thighs for a juicier result.
