Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4-5 mins each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Thickly slice the chicken.

Spread each roll with mayonnaise. Fill with the cucumber, carrot, coriander, spring onion and chicken. Drizzle with seasoning and sprinkle with sliced chilli.
