Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 2 chicken breast fillets (about 150 g each)
- Marinade: 2 tbsp olive oil, juice of ½ lemon, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 garlic clove crushed, ½ tsp salt
- Prego-style sauce: 3 tbsp tomato paste, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce, ½ tsp smoked paprika, ½ tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp water
- 2 soft burger buns
- 2 slices cheese
- 4 cos lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
Method
- Butterfly the fillets to an even thickness and marinate at least 30 minutes (overnight is better).
- Stir the Prego-style sauce ingredients together and taste — it should be tangy and a little sweet, with warmth but no real burn.
- Grill or barbecue the chicken over high heat 4–5 minutes per side until charred at the edges and cooked through. Lay the cheese on for the last minute.
- Toast the buns. Spread mayonnaise on both halves and Prego sauce on the base.
- Layer lettuce and tomato, then the hot fillet, and more Prego sauce on top. Tip: the Prego sauce is the whole burger — make it first and taste it before the chicken is cooked, because once the burger is built you cannot fix a sauce that is too sharp or too flat.
