1.5 tbsp Kosher salt for the chicken
1 tbsp Black pepper for the chicken
3 tbsp Garlic powder (For seasoning the chicken)
2 tbsp Paprika (For seasoning the chicken)
Cooking spray (The author uses avocado oil spray; amount not specified)
1 cup Packed fresh parsley (Firmly packed)
3 cup Packed fresh basil (Firmly packed)
95 g Parmesan cheese
0.25 cup Olive oil (For the pesto)
3.5 cloves Fresh garlic (3 to 4 cloves)
1 lemon Lemon juice (Juice of one lemon)
1 tsp Kosher salt for the pesto
0.5 tsp Black pepper for the pesto
0.25 cup Pine nuts or walnuts (Choose one of the two options)

Steps

1
Trim the visible fat from the chicken thighs.
2
Season the chicken with the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
3
Cook the chicken using a method and temperature not specified in the source, until fully cooked.
4
Make the pesto by combining the parsley, basil, Parmesan, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and pine nuts or walnuts. Add 2 to 4 tablespoons of water, adjusting the amount to achieve the desired consistency.
5
Completely hollow out the baguettes and cut each baguette into 3 segments, yielding 12 pieces.
6
Fill the baguette segments with the cooked chicken and pesto.
7
Add the ultra-thin slices of provolone or Swiss cheese and the hot honey mentioned in the video.
8
Prepare the 12 sandwiches for meal prep. The source states that the cheese is served melted, but does not specify the method or temperature for melting it.

Notes

The source does not specify the method, temperature, or cooking time for the chicken, nor how to melt the cheese. The transcript states approximately one hour of total preparation time, 12 sandwiches, 526 calories, 43 g of protein, 39 g of carbohydrates, and 22 g of fat per sandwich; these values do not correspond exactly to the transcribed ingredient quantities and are therefore included only as the author's stated values, not recalculated.
