Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pieces Red chili peppers, chopped
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 pieces Bread rolls
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 piece Tomato, sliced
- 1 piece Red onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the peri peri marinade. In a blender, combine the olive oil, garlic, red chili peppers, lemon juice, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the peri peri marinade over the chicken, making sure it's well coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should be 165°F (73°C).
Step 5
While the chicken is grilling, lightly toast the bread rolls on the grill or in a toaster until golden brown.
Step 6
To assemble the sandwiches, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bread roll.
Step 7
Slice the grilled chicken breasts and distribute them evenly on each sandwich.
Step 8
Top with tomato slices and red onion rings.
Step 9
Place the top half of the bread roll over the assembled ingredients, and serve the sandwiches immediately.
