Chicken and Pickled Veg Baguettes – Pinch of Nom Slimming Recipes

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card below. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff in the blurb!

Far from your typical chicken sandwich, this easy recipe will have you looking forward to lunchtime. Drawing inspiration from Vietnamese-style flavours, we’ve marinated chicken breast in a punchy mixture of lime juice, soy sauce, fish sauce and garlic. 

Those salty, savoury ingredients are the perfect partner for our sharp, sour homemade pickled vegetables. We’ve chopped up crunchy carrots, cucumbers and radishes, before turning them into a quick pickle that you can load onto your sandwich once the chicken is cooked. 

At 177 calories, this slimming-friendly sandwich packs in big flavours. You can rustle it up in as little as 20 minutes, although you’ll need to leave your chicken to marinate for at least an hour (and the longer you leave it, the better it’ll taste!). 

Once you’ve discovered how easy it is to make your own pickles you’ll be making these all the time. Spoon them onto burgers, salads and sandwiches!
