How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Put the chicken breasts between two bits of baking parchment plus use a rolling pin to bash them until they are about ½ inch thick.
Cut every chicken breast into two even pieces.
If you're using frying pan, heat two frying pans.
Do it over medium-high heat, using one of them containing oil.
Fry your chicken in your oiled pan for 3-4 mins on every side until they are cooked through.
Season the chicken.
Turn the heat down, drizzle in your chilli sauce plus half of the lemon juice.
Cook for an more 1-2 mins till the sauce is reduced.
Remove the chicken from the heat.
If you're using an air-fryer, heat it to 350°F for 4 mins.
Add the chicken to the air-fryer.
Cook for 12 mins.
Drizzle over your chilli sauce and half the lemon juice.
Cook for an more 1-2 mins till your chicken is cooked through plus the sauce is reduced.
Remove the chicken.
Keep it warm.
While your chicken is cooking, toast your buns in your dry frying pan for 30 seconds.
Move them to a plate.
If you're using air fryer, put your buns in your air fryer for 1-2 mins till they are warm.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400°F.
Add your halloumi to the air fryer basket.
Cook for 10 mins, until it's golden.
Turn halfway through.
