Chargrilled chicken and pepper sandwich recipe

3 ratings

Try this colourful chicken sandwich for a simple lunch - crunchy ciabatta, tender artichokes and a punchy sauce made from roasted peppers, tomatoes and paprika fill every bite with flavour. Why not make a bigger batch of the sauce and use leftovers to stir through pasta, drizzle over meat or fish – or just to spread in more sandwiches. See method

Method

Preheat the grill to high. Put the pepper and tomato skin-side up on a baking tray. Add the garlic and grill for 5 mins or until the skins are blackened and blistered. Remove and leave to cool for a few mins, then peel off and discard the skins.
Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Roughly chop the grilled veg and toasted bread, then put in a food processor with the vinegar, paprika and 1 tbsp olive oil; pulse to a rough paste. Heat the ciabatta in the oven for 5-10 mins until warmed through and crisp on the outside.
Meanwhile, put the chicken between 2 sheets of clingfilm and use a rolling pin to bash to a thickness of roughly 1cm. Place a griddle pan over a medium-high heat and brush with ½ tbsp oil. Dust the chicken with the paprika and a little seasoning, then griddle for 4 mins each side until lightly charred and cooked through. Set aside to rest for 3 mins, then slice each breast into 4 pieces.
Cut the ciabatta in half and spread the pepper sauce over the base. Top with the chicken, artichoke, rocket and ciabatta lid. Cut into 4 to serve.

Tip: Just one pepper typically contains all the vitamin C you need in a day. Another great reason to tuck in.
