Why This Dish Is So Satisfying
This sandwich is packed with bold flavors and juicy chicken that stays tender with every bite. It’s quick to make and perfect for a satisfying meal any time of day.
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover them, then season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a spoonful of ginger garlic paste. Turn the heat on and let it simmer until all the water has evaporated. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it with two forks and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a little oil in a pan. Toss in some chopped garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant. Add chopped onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they soften.
Step 3
Throw in the chopped bell peppers (green, yellow, and red) and cook for another minute or so. Then add the shredded chicken and stir everything together.
Step 4
Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and chili flakes to your taste. Stir in some tomato ketchup and mayonnaise until everything is well combined. Once done, set the filling aside.
Step 5
Heat a grill pan and brush it with a bit of oil. Grill your bread slices on both sides until they’re nicely toasted and crispy.
Step 6
Finally, assemble your sandwich by spreading the chicken mixture between two slices of the grilled bread. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
