Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper

- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Cook the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 4
While the chicken is resting, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the peppers, onion, and garlic for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized. Season with a small pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Toast the sandwich buns lightly on a dry pan or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.
Step 7
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.
Step 8
Assemble the sandwiches by layering lettuce leaves, sliced chicken, sautéed peppers and onions, and a slice of cheddar cheese on each bun. Add chopped fresh parsley for garnish if desired.
Step 9
Cover with the top half of the bun, serve warm, and enjoy your Chicken and Pepper Sandwich!
