2tbsp tomato purée
1tsp smoked paprika
250g basmati rice, cooked according to pack instructions

Method
1Halve the chicken breasts horizontally to get 4 fillets. Sandwich each between 2 sheets of clingfilm and bash with a rolling pin until double the size. Put in a dish, pour over the piri piri sauce and marinate in the fridge for at least 30 mins.
2For the rice, heat the oil in a pan on a medium setting. Fry the chilli and garlic for 1 min. Add the diced peppers and spring onions; fry for 4-5 mins until soft. Add the tomato purée, paprika and 1tbsp water, mix, then add the rice. Stir-fry for 3 mins. Stir in the lemon juice and parsley; transfer to a dish and keep warm.
3Preheat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Mix the onion with the pepper wedges and the 1tbsp oil, add to the pan and fry for 3-4 mins. Remove; keep warm. Fry the chicken in the pan for 5 mins each side, or until cooked through.
4Split and toast the rolls. Spread each base with the mayo, add the lettuce, chicken, onion and pepper mix, then the tops of the rolls. Serve with the spicy rice and lime wedges.
