A juicy piece of chicken breast marinated in chili flakes, lemon,
and garlic is fresh and totally delicious.
- To make it extra special,
brush the buns with butter or olive oil and grill in a skillet until
lightly browned. The result is a healthy burger that is perfect for
summer: light, fresh, and juicy.
- The key to chicken is to not overcook it. Once it is too dry, the flavor is totally gone.
Chili and Lemon Chicken Burgers
Serves 4
1 tsp. dried chili flakes
1 c. lemon juice (fresh)
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 c. olive oil
sea salt and cracked black pepper
4 burger buns, halved
4
chicken breast fillets, trimmed and butterflied (I didn't butter fly
mine, you could pound them a bit thinner if your fillets are too thick)
4 iceberg lettuce leaves
mayonnaise, to serve
1.
Place the chili flakes, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper
in a bowl and stir to combine. Place the chicken in a separate bowl and
pour over half the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2.
Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue over high heat. Brush the burger bun halves with some of the reserved marinade and
char-grill or barbecue for 1-2 minutes or until toasted. Set aside. Char-grill or barbecue the chicken for 4 minutes each side,
or until cooked through. Top the buns with the lettuce, mayonnaise and
chicken and spoon over remaining marinade to serve.
