Step 2: Season the chicken
First, using the brush, coat one side of the chicken with olive oil and then season with salt and pepper. Turn both pieces over and repeat for the other side.
Step 3: Barbecue the chicken
Place the chicken on the barbecue and grill for 3 minutes. Turn the pieces over and grill for a further 3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: Make the spread
Into the mayonnaise put the following: the mustard, lime juice, lime zest, garlic and parsley. Mix it together well.
Step 5: Put the sandwich together
Open up one of the bread rolls, add a good spoonful of the mayonnaise mixture, and spread it over. Do both sides of the roll. Next add three to four slices of ham, one piece of chicken and two slices cheese. Close the sandwich and repeat the same process for the second one.
Step 6: Barbecue the sandwich
Put both sandwiches onto the barbecue and place the heavy pan on top to weigh them down. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the rolls over and grill, weighed down, for a further three minutes. When nicely toasted, remove them from the barbecue.
Step 7: Serve
Serve the sandwiches with a little salad and mixed pickles on the side. Enjoy!
