4 slices chorizo
2 ciabatta rolls, lightly toasted

Flatten the chicken breasts out slightly with your hands or a rolling pin. Place them in a bowl with the oregano, smoked paprika and sunflower oil, toss to coat and season. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue to high, and grill the chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Keep warm while you grill the chorizo for a minute or two on each side.

Mix the mayo with the crushed garlic, spread on the ciabatta with a few rocket leaves, then top with the chicken breasts and the chorizo slices and garnish with a sprig of coriander. Serve with the spicy wedges and a little extra mayo on the side. The chicken can be marinated overnight for more flavour.
