Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 2 chicken breast fillets (about 150 g each)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 traditional or panini burger buns
- 2 slices beetroot (tinned is fine)
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 4 cos lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- Tomato relish: 2 tbsp tomato relish
- Sweet chilli mayonnaise: ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- Salt and cracked pepper
Method
- Butterfly the fillets to an even thickness and rub with paprika, garlic powder, salt and a little oil.
- Grill or barbecue 4–5 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through. Rest 3 minutes, then slice.
- Mix the sweet chilli mayonnaise. Toast the buns.
- Spread sweet chilli mayonnaise on both bun halves and relish on the base. Layer lettuce, tomato, beetroot and carrot, then the sliced chicken.
- Rest 2 minutes and serve. Tip: slice the chicken after resting — slicing straight off the grill lets the juices run out — and the beetroot and carrot are not optional garnish, they are what makes it a Grill’d Sweet Chilli Chicken rather than a plain grilled chicken burger.
