Serves: 2
Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts, skinless
  • 1 tbsp + 1tsp piri-piri seasoning mix
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 4 spring onions, 2 finely chopped and 2 cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ avocado
  • ½ little gem lettuce
  • 2 burger buns
  • salt and pepper
Method
  1. Cover the chicken breasts with a sheet of cling film and bash to an even thickness with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix together 1 tbsp of the piri-piri seasoning mix, the juice of half the lime, the oil and the finely chopped spring onions to make a marinade.
  3. Pour this over the chicken and leave to marinate overnight or for as long as possible.
  4. Grill or griddle the chicken on a medium heat for 10-15 mins, turning regularly. It should be charred on the outside and juicy but cooked in the middle.
  5. While the chicken is cooking, mix together the remaining piri-piri seasoning and the mayonnaise.
  6. Slice the avocado and dress with lime juice and a good pinch of salt.
  7. Tear the lettuce leaves and toast the buns.
  8. Lay the leaves on the bottom half of each bun, put a chicken breast on top, add a dollop of piri-piri mayonnaise and top with the spring onion strips, avocado and the bun lid.
