Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated (for mayonnaise)
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 4 pieces baguette or sandwich rolls
• 4 leaves butter lettuce leaves
• 1 piece cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 piece carrot, julienned

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Step 3

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked and nicely caramelized. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Set the cooked chicken aside to rest briefly.

Step 4

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the ginger mayonnaise by mixing mayonnaise, finely grated ginger, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth, then set aside.

Step 5

Cut the baguette or sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them, if desired.

Step 6

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of ginger mayonnaise on the cut sides of each roll. Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom half of the bread, followed by the cooked chicken thigh.

Step 7

Top the chicken with a few slices of cucumber and a handful of julienned carrot for a fresh crunch. Add the top half of the roll to complete the sandwich.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful miso chicken sandwiches with ginger mayonnaise!
