Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and mince the red chili (remove seeds for less heat). Slice the tomato into rounds.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the bell pepper and chili, cook until softened and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

  3. Step 3

    Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add to the skillet with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, toss to warm through, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Toast the sesame buns in the same skillet or a toaster until golden, about 1-2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Layer the bottom buns with mixed greens, tomato slices, the warm chicken-pepper mixture, and top with the other bun half. Serve immediately.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of mayo for extra flavor.
