Marinate the chicken pieces first, so they have some time to soak in the marinade. Preferably you marinate the chicken for 1-2 hours, but it will still turn out amazing if you grill them right away.
Mix together the chicken pieces with some olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, grated garlic as well as a pinch of salt & pepper
150 grams boneless chicken cuts, 1 clove garlic, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika

A fresh and homemade guacamole is such an amazing thing! First prepare the spice mix by grinding together cumin seeds/powder, salt, pepper, chili flakes and garlic powder. Then add the avocado, finely chopped tomato, chopped parsley or cilantro and finally some fresh lime juice. Mix well together until creamy but still with some smaller parts to be seen.
½ Avocado, 1 small tomato, 1 handful parsley or cilantro, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp chili flakes, 1 tsp cumin powder / seeds

Roast the chicken pieces in a pan or on the grill until golden and juicy. You can also roast a whole chicken in the oven or on the grill and then pull as much meat you need from parts like chicken legs or thighs.

Cut the bread in half and spread the guacamole on the bottom part. Then add the chicken on top and sprinkle some dried oregano and finely sliced red onion. Ad as much grated cheese according to your taste and grill in the oven for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Finally, add a handful of fresh rocket, sprinkle with olive oil and lime juice and enjoy!
