Not sure just how healthy these really are, but they taste amazing. (Taken and adapted from http://www.foodwoolf.com/2009/03/chicken-banh-mi-recipe.html)
Ingredients:
¾ cup sugar
¾ cup rice wine vinegar
¼ teaspoon (rounded) salt
Mixed and poured into separate bowls of matchstick carrots, sliced english cucumber, and sliced red onion. Allowed to pickle all day
Five spice Marinated Chicken
1/4 cup soy sauce
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 shallots, chopped ( i used green onions)
2 tablespoons fish sauce (mushroom-based oyster sauce)
1 tablespoon sugar (I used honey)
2 teaspoons five spice powder (anise, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper)
6 large skinless boneless chicken breasts
Spicy Lime Mayonnaise

Marinated everything all day. Grilled the chicken on the bbq and served on Villagio sausage buns.

Actually, it doesn't look bad at all. I would guess 450-500 cals per sandwich.0

That was my rough calc.
Go light on the mayo and heavy on the veggies. And avoid the pasta salad and chips on the side0 -
