Ingredients
2 Chicken Breasts

4 tbsp Hotsauce
½ Lemon Juice
2 Buns
250g Cheese
¼ Cabbage
2 tbsp Mayonnaise
4 tbsp Sour Cream
4 leaves Lettuce
2 Red Pepper
Preparation
- STEP 1
- Put the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking parchment and use a rolling pin to gently bash them until they are approximately 1cm thick.
- Cut each chicken breast into two even pieces.
- STEP 2
- If you're using a frying pan, heat two frying pans over medium-high heat, with one of them containing oil.
- Fry the chicken in the oiled pan for 3-4 mins on each side until they are cooked through.
- Season the chicken, reduce the heat, drizzle in the chilli sauce and half of the lemon juice, and cook for an additional 1-2 mins until the sauce is reduced.
- Remove the chicken from the heat.
- STEP 3
- If you're using an air-fryer, preheat it to 180C for 4 mins.
- Add the chicken to the air-fryer and cook for 12 mins.
- Drizzle over the chilli sauce and half the lemon juice and cook for an additional 1-2 mins until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced.
- Remove the chicken and keep it warm.
- STEP 4
- While the chicken is cooking, toast the buns in the dry frying pan for 30 seconds.
- Transfer them to a plate.
- If you're using an air fryer, put the buns in the air fryer for 1-2 mins until they are warm.
- Increase the air fryer temperature to 200C.
- Add the halloumi to the air fryer basket and cook for 10 mins, turning halfway through, until it's golden.
- Toss the cabbage with the mayo and the remaining lemon juice.
- STEP 5
- Spoon the hummus (or dip of your choice) into the toasted buns, then top with the rocket, chilli chicken, halloumi, and peppers.
- Drizzle with a little more chilli sauce, spoon over the cabbage, season with black pepper, and top with the bun lids.
- Serve with any extra cabbage on the side or a green salad.
