Today I’m sharing a super simple and delicious chicken breast sandwich recipe. The marinade was inspired by a salad vinaigrette—just sesame oil and vinegar. I didn’t expect this combo to work so well, but it turned out amazing! A totally fail-proof oven dish.

Ingredients

Chicken breast – 80g
Toast – 2 slices
Cabbage – as much as you like
Sesame oil (or use Sichuan pepper oil, green pepper oil, or olive oil) – 1 tbsp
Vinegar – 1 tbsp
Light soy sauce – 1 tbsp
Black pepper – to taste
Salt – to taste

Easiest (and Tastiest!) Baked Chicken Breast Ever

Step 1: Slice the chicken breast into thin pieces.

Step 2: Add sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Mix well and let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Line a baking tray with foil and spread the chicken slices out in a single layer. Sprinkle on some salt and black pepper. Since the marinade already has soy sauce, don’t overdo the salt.

Step 4: On a separate rack, line with foil again and place your toast slices and shredded cabbage on top. (Feel free to use whatever veggies you like!)

Step 5: Preheat the oven for 5 minutes. Then bake both the tray and rack at 200°C (about 390°F) for 15 minutes. No need to brush oil—thanks to the sesame oil, the chicken stays juicy. Just keep an eye on it—every oven is different! You want it fully cooked, but still tender.

Step 6: Time to assemble! Toast + cabbage + chicken = done. Stack the other slice on top and boom—you’ve got a perfect sandwich.

Optional (but highly recommended): Dip it in a little honey. Pure bliss.

The bite? Sweet, tangy, salty, savory, juicy, and crisp—all in one. So many layers of flavor, yet everything blends together beautifully. Honestly, it’s incredible.

A Few Quick Tips

Don’t skip the oil. Sesame oil locks in moisture and keeps the chicken tender. Want that tingly, numbing kick? Use Sichuan or green pepper oil. No sesame? Olive oil works too. Each oil gives a slightly different flavor—just pick your fave.
I tossed the cabbage into the oven with everything else because I was lazy. But 15 minutes is a bit too long—it got a little burnt on the edges (which you should tear off before eating). A better idea is to bake the toast and chicken first, then add the veggies later. Different veggies cook at different speeds, so feel free to adjust as needed.

Ingredients

80g Chicken breast
2 slices of toast
Cabbage (or any greens you like)
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame oil (sub: Sichuan pepper oil, green pepper oil, olive oil)
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp light soy sauce
Black pepper & salt (to taste)

Directions

Slice the chicken breast into thin strips—this helps it cook faster and soak up more flavor.
Toss the chicken with sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. Give it a good mix, then let it sit for 15 minutes to marinate.
Line a baking tray with foil and lay the chicken out in a single layer. Sprinkle on some salt and black pepper. Go easy on the salt—there’s already soy sauce in the mix.
Grab another rack, line it with foil, and add your slices of toast and some shredded cabbage. You can swap in any veggies you like here.
Preheat your oven for about 5 minutes. Pop both the tray and rack in at 200°C (around 390°F), and bake for 15 minutes. Thanks to the sesame oil, there’s no need to add extra oil. Just keep an eye on it—ovens vary, and you want juicy chicken, not dried-out strips.
Time to build your sandwich! Start with a slice of toast, layer on the cabbage, pile up the chicken, and top it off with the second slice. That’s it—simple, tasty, and ready to eat.
