  • 3 bell peppers thinly sliced
  • 6 hoagie rolls

  • Place 1 lb. chicken tenders or thinly sliced breast to a small baking dish or container. Pour 1 cup Kewpie Roasted Sesame Marinade/Dressing over the top and let marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
  • In a large 12” skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil and sear chicken tenders or breasts until golden brown on each side and cooked through; about 3 minutes per side.

  • Assemble sandwiches by spreading extra Kewpie Roasted Sesame Dressing on each toasted roll, top with sliced chicken, sautéed peppers, and sliced avocado.
