Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread slices
  • 200 g cooked chicken breast
  • 1 bell pepper
  • ½ red onion
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Slice the 1 bell pepper and 0.5 red onion into thin strips. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the vegetables until soft and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Shred the 200g cooked chicken breast into a bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, 2 tbsp mayonnaise, and 0.5 tsp salt. Mix well to combine.

  3. 3

    Divide the filling evenly between 2 slices of bread, then top with the remaining 2 slices to form 2 sandwiches.

  4. 4

    Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the hot pan and press down gently with a spatula. Grill until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Cut the 1 lemon into wedges. Serve the grilled sandwiches hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the filling.
