A homemade Grill’d-style Sweet Chilli Chicken burger with grilled chicken, beetroot and carrot

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Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs).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

  1. Butterfly the fillets to an even thickness and rub with paprika, garlic powder, salt and a little oil.
  2. Grill or barbecue 4–5 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through. Rest 3 minutes, then slice.
  3. Mix the sweet chilli mayonnaise. Toast the buns.
  4. Spread sweet chilli mayonnaise on both bun halves and relish on the base. Layer lettuce, tomato, beetroot and carrot, then the sliced chicken.
  5. 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.
