My Bánh Mì Chick (Vietnamese Sandwich) Recipe

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F with rack in middle.

2. Spoon out 2 cups of California Hot Mix Vegetables. Pour 3 tablespoons of liquid from the jar into a medium bowl and whisk in the sugar. Combine the Hot Mix Vegetables with the marinade, stir, and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, heat the baguette on a rack in the oven for about 5 minutes until crusty. Cut off and discard round ends, then split the baguette.

1. Spread a layer of the mayonnaise mixture onto the bottom of the bread, top the sandwich bottom with olives, sliced onion, and cilantro.

2. Arrange the chicken, marinated vegetables, and lettuce on top. Cut the sandwich crosswise into fourths.

3. Serve and enjoy.
