Directions
Step 1

Remove chicken from the marinade and grill each side for about 5-6 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Step 6
While the chicken is resting, lightly toast the baguettes in the oven or on a hot skillet until crispy.

Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each baguette half.
