Instructions

  • Pound the chicken breasts so they are an even thickness.
    500 g Chicken breast
  • Mix the spices and salt and pepper together and roll the chicken in it so each piece is evenly coated.
    1 tablespoon Ground cumin, 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon Ground coriander, 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper, 1 pinch Sea salt, 1 pinch Black pepper
  • With a paper towel, oil the grill of the BBQ and place the chicken on it. Cook for 4 minutes each side, making sure the chicken gets to 75°C/165°F.
  • Meanwhile, put all of the coleslaw ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
    1 Carrot, 0.25 Red cabbage, 1 Little gem lettuce, 3 tablespoon Greek yogurt, 1 Garlic clove, 1 pinch Sea salt, 1 pinch Black pepper, 1 Lime
  • Put the burgers into the ciabatta rolls and top with the coleslaw.

Notes

  • Want some cheese on this? Grilled halloumi would go very well on it.
  • You can grill or fry these burgers instead if it isn't BBQ season.
  • Use this cajun seasoning to sprinkle on salmon too and put it under the grill.
  • These burgers are best eaten right away.
  • You could make a low carb version of these by skipping the bun and using a giant lettuce leaf to hold the burger and toppings together.
  • If you want this to cook quicker, then you could butterfly the chicken breast.
