Marinating the chicken makes it moist and full of flavor, and the vegetable slaw adds crunch and tang. We used chopped fresh parsley in the slaw but either chopped fresh basil or cilantro would work well too. You can make this ahead and enjoy it as cold sandwich for a portable lunch. Pack the bread and the other ingredients separately and assemble just before serving. If you’re short on time, skip the slaw and top the sandwiches with lettuce or arugula and tomato or cucumber slices and they’ll still be delicious. Serve with a fresh tropical fruit cup made with pineapple and mango.
