Hainan Chicken Sandwich with Gochujang Spicy Mayo

A twist on the classic Singaporean dish: Hainanese Chicken Rice comes this Hainan Chicken Sandwich with poached chicken, gochujang spicy mayo and sliced cucumbers and tomatoes – then can be dipped in the poached chicken broth. YUM.

This is the perfect recipe for a quick sando on the go, make ahead the night before for lunch, or you can even prep a big batch of the chicken, and make this for a weeknight dinner as well.

Hainan Chicken Sandwich with Gochujang Spicy Mayo

Ingredients

1 cup Durst tomatoes
4-5 cucumbers
Green onions + cilantro for garnish

Poaching Broth/Serve with Sandwich

1 1/2 lb chicken breast
1⁄2 sliced daikon
1/4th cup cilantro
1/4th cup green onions
1 T pepper
2 cloves garlic
Handful of salt

Gochujang Spicy Mayo

2 tsp gochujang
2 1⁄2 T mayo
3 T sriracha
1⁄2 tsp sugar
1 tsp sesame oil
1⁄2 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Boil water in a big pot with a handful of salt. Once that comes to a boil, add in your chicken breasts and include sliced daikon, cilantro, green onions, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic cloves. Let simmer and come to a boil until the chicken is fully cooked. Reserve chicken broth for serving.

While your chicken is poaching, get all your other ingredients ready. Make your gochujang spicy mayo. In a bowl mix your gochujang, mayo, sriracha, sugar, sesame oil, lemon and salt and pepper. Set aside.

Thinly slice your cucumbers and your durst tomatoes and mix with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. At this point, you can also slice your baguette.

Once the chicken is done, take out and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Slice and assemble your sandwich! Add your spicy mayo on first, then the chicken, then your cucumber and tomato salad. Top with cilantro and green onions. Wrap and enjoy!
