[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 



Chicken is well-behaved in the context of a burger. You can get quite creative with the fillings and the old Chooky McBurger tends to be quite accommodating!

Recipe

Ingredients 

2 skinless chicken breasts 

1 tbsp oil, plus extra for frying the halloumi, if needed 

4 tbsp piri-piri sauce or other mild chilli sauce, plus extra for drizzling 

½ lemon, juiced 

burger buns, split in half 

250g block lighter halloumi, sliced into 8 pieces 

¼ small white cabbage, finely sliced 

2 tbsp mayonnaise 

4 tbsp hummus, tzatziki or soured cream & chive dip 

handful of rocket or 4-8 soft lettuce leaves 

2 large roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and sliced 



Method 

STEP 1 

Put the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin until 1cm thick. Cut each into two even pieces. 

STEP 2 

Heat two frying pans over a medium-high heat, heating the oil in one. Fry the chicken in the oiled pan for 3-4 mins on each side until cooked through. Season. Reduce the heat, drizzle in the chilli sauce and half the lemon juice and cook for 1-2 mins more until the sauce is reduced. Remove from the heat. 

STEP 3 

While the chicken cooks, toast the buns in the dry frying pan for 30 secs. Transfer to a plate, then fry the halloumi in the pan (add a bit of oil if the pan is not non-stick) for 30 secs on each side until golden. Toss the cabbage with the mayo and remaining lemon juice. 

STEP 4 

Spoon the hummus (or dip of your choice) into the toasted buns, then top with the rocket, chilli chicken, halloumi and peppers. Drizzle with a little more chilli sauce, spoon over the cabbage, season with black pepper, and top with the bun lids. Serve with any extra cabbage on the side, or a green salad.
