When cool, peel off all the skin. Place peppers into a food processor with 3½ tbsp of oil, chillies, garlic, oregano, paprika, sugar and red wine vinegar, and blitz to make a chunky salsa. Season to taste, adding more chillies if you like.
Brush chicken with the remaining oil and season. Preheat a griddle pan and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning half way, until just cooked.
Allow to rest for a few minutes wrapped in foil. Mix together the tomatoes, cucumber and spring onion to make a salad.
