  • 2 servings
  • 30 min

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Grillville's Portuguese bbq sauce
  • 2 round loaves
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ½ chorizo sausage
  • 4 store-bought roasted red peppers
  • A few leaves of rocket lettuce

Steps

  • Preheat barbecue to 500F, taking care to leave one section of the barbecue closed, ideally the one on the side.
  • In a large bowl, marinate the breasts with about half the bottle. A minimum of 20 minutes marinating time would be ideal.
  • Grill the chicken breasts on both sides. Once marked, transfer the breasts to the closed section of the grill. Cook for about 15 minutes or until an internal temperature of 74C is reached.
  • Remember to brush the breasts every 5 minutes or so with a layer of sauce.
  • Cut the chorizo sausage into ½-centimeter slices, grill lightly and set aside.
  • Cut the bread in half and toast for 1 minute.
  • To serve, pour a little sauce over the bread and add the chicken, chorizo slices, red peppers and arugula lettuce. Drizzle with a little more sauce.
