Preparation

Step 1

Whisk up the EVOO, garlic, basil, thyme, zest of two lemons, juice of one lemon, parsley, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.

Take a couple of spoonfuls of the dressing and place in a second bowl. Stir the dressing together with the tahini, vinegar and juice of the remaining lemon and reserve this sesame sauce for dressing the subs. If it is too thick for drizzling, thin with a little water.

Add the diced chicken to the dressing and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to several hours.

Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat or heat the outdoor grill.

Skewer the chicken on metal skewers and grill for 12-15 minutes, until cooked through. Char or toast the split sub rolls, then fill them with the shredded lettuce, hot pickled veggies and the chicken chunks. Drizzle with the sesame sauce and serve hot.
