Recipe Steps

1. Marinate Chicken Breast

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add chicken breast and marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

2. Grill Chicken Breast

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Grill chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.


3. Prepare Slaw and Carrots

In a small bowl, combine shredded cabbage and carrots. In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sugar, grated ginger, and garlic to make dressing. Pour dressing over slaw mixture and toss until combined.

4. Assemble Buns

Cut milk bread buns in half lengthwise and toast until lightly browned. Spread a layer of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun. Add sliced grilled chicken breast, followed by a spoonful of slaw mixture, pickled carrots, and finally the top half of the bun.


Optional: Korean-Style Gochujang Mayo

Mix 1/4 cup gochujang with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise for an extra spicy kick!
