Recipe: (Beef) Chicken Burger

Hello Burger Fans.

Buckle up, we’re jumping right in!

Royal Chicken Burger (serves 2)

The breaded chicken

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts, fairly thin
• Panko breadcrumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs made from flakes of bread)
• Flour
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon Cajun spice mix
• 1 teaspoon of your favourite spice mix (we use “Peru” spices – paprika, coriander and chilli)

Preparation

Note: If you can’t find thin chicken breasts you can cut them in half horizontally or flatten them with a rolling pin (go ahead, give them a good whack!).

• Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg and spice mix, and one with Panko breadcrumbs.
• Coat the chicken in the flour.
• Dip it in the egg/spice mixture.
• Coat it with Panko.
• Fry over a high heat in a pre‑oiled (or buttered, if you prefer) pan, turning regularly until the coating is nicely coloured – about 10 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy when pressed.

The burger

Ingredients for the burger

• 2 “Pain Bagnat” buns (or any soft bun of your choice)
