Directions
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours.

Grill the marinated chicken on a preheated grill or skillet over medium heat for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

Spread light mayonnaise on both sides of each baguette.
Step 8
Layer the sliced chicken, pickled vegetables, fresh cilantro, and jalapeño slices (if using) inside the baguettes.
