Author: www.lovethecrunch.com
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
- Cover the chicken breasts with a sheet of cling film and bash to an even thickness with a rolling pin.
- 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.
- Pour this over the chicken and leave to marinate overnight or for as long as possible.
- 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.
- While the chicken is cooking, mix together the remaining piri-piri seasoning and the mayonnaise.
- Slice the avocado and dress with lime juice and a good pinch of salt.
- Tear the lettuce leaves and toast the buns.
- 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.
