Instructions

 

  • In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, vinegar, pineapple juice, garlic, and ginger. In a separate bowl, whisk water with cornstarch until smooth, then stir into the sauce.

  • Heat a skillet with 1 tbsp sesame oil over high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from pan.

  • Add remaining oil and sauté bell pepper and onion for 2–3 minutes until just tender. Remove veggies.

  • Add the sauce to the skillet and let it come to a boil. Reduce heat, return chicken and veggies, and simmer until thickened and glazed, about 5 minutes.

  • Toast the baguette or rolls in a 400°F oven. Slice without cutting all the way through.

  • Divide chicken mixture into the rolls, sprinkle with Swiss cheese, wrap in foil, and bake for 5–10 minutes.

  • Optional: Broil briefly to crisp the top. Add green onions before serving.

Notes

For deeper flavor, let the teriyaki sauce simmer longer. To make this more like the Subway chicken teriyaki sub, choose low-sodium soy sauce and whole wheat rolls.
