→ Sandwich Assembly

11 - 400 g chicken tenders
12 - 30 ml vegetable oil
13 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
14 - 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
15 - 150 g shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, plus extra for topping
16 - 2 French bread sub rolls
17 - 120 ml prepared white BBQ sauce, plus more for drizzling

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together mayonnaise, white vinegar, cracked white pepper, Creole mustard, salt, sugar, pressed garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, and paprika. Refrigerate until needed.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken tenders generously with salt and pepper, then place them in the pan. Cook for 6–8 minutes per side, adding the sliced shallots halfway and continuing until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat.
03 - Allow cooked chicken tenders to cool briefly. Chop into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl.
04 - Add sautéed shallots, shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, and 120 ml of the prepared white BBQ sauce to the chopped chicken. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute flavours.
05 - Using a sharp knife, slice each French bread sub lengthwise, creating a deep pocket without cutting completely through.
06 - Evenly divide the chicken mixture between the bread subs, ensuring a generous amount of filling in each.
07 - Sprinkle additional Monterrey Jack cheese over the filled subs for enhanced meltiness.
08 - Place subs on a baking sheet. Broil in a preheated oven for 3–5 minutes until the cheese is hot, melted, and bubbly. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
09 - Drizzle with extra white BBQ sauce as desired and serve the subs immediately while hot.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Prepare the white BBQ sauce ahead so flavors meld and the sauce thickens for best results.
02 - Monitor subs under the grill closely to prevent cheese from burning.
03 - Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; keep sauce separate for freshness.
04 - Substitute chicken with grilled vegetables or plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
