Preparación

1. 1

   For the chicken: In a baking dish, mix the fish sauce, lime juice sugar, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Add the chicken breasts to the dish, cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Longer is better!

2. 2

   For the pickled vegetables: Stir the hot tap water and sugar in a medium bowl, until the sugar dissolves. Add the vinegar, salt, crushed red pepper, sliced carrots and radishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken breasts for 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat and cover the chicken with foil to rest for 5 minutes. Open the sub rolls and grill the insides for about 1-3 minute—until toasted.

4. 4

   Drain the pickled veggies. Slice the chicken into thin pieces.

5. 5

   Spread mayo over in the sub rolls. Layer the cucumbers, chicken, pickled veggies, cilantro leaves and jalapeños in the rolls. Serve immediately!
