Ingredients

Chicken fillets

Chili flakes

Cumin

Mixed herbs

Peppers

Baby gem lettuce

Sourdough loaf 

1 Onion

Haloumi 

Hummus

Salt and pepper 

Lemon

Mayonnaise

Method

Season the chicken with cumin, mixed herbs, salt, and pepper.

Slice an onion and peppers 

Heat the pan on medium-high heat and toss the chopped onion and peppers evenly over the pan, stirring occasionally. After about 20-30 minutes, lower the temperature or take off the heat if browned. 

Heat a separate frying pan over medium-high heat with oil, and fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked. Remove from heat.

While the chicken is cooling, spread mayonnaise on the bread and place in a dry flying pan, mayonnaise side down, for 30 seconds or until brown. Flip to toast on the other side and transfer to a plate.

In the same pan, add a small bit of oil and fry the halloumi for about 30 seconds on each side until golden.

To the hummus, add lemon juice and garlic.

To assemble: Spread the hummus on the toasted bread, then top with peppers, onion, and haloumi, adding the chicken last. Add a dash of  pepper and salt, and top with a slide of toasted bread. Serve with side salad.
