Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Cheddar cheese slices
- 4 pieces Sandwich buns
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
While the chicken is resting, slice the red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and yellow onion into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
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.
Toast the sandwich buns lightly on a dry pan or in the oven for 2-3 minutes until warm and slightly crisp.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun.
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.
Cover with the top half of the bun, serve warm, and enjoy your Chicken and Pepper Sandwich!
