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.
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.
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.
Step 4
Toast the sesame buns in the same skillet or a toaster until golden, about 1-2 minutes.
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.
Step 6
Optional: add a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of mayo for extra flavor.
