Get the grill out, it is time to turn up the heat with our delicious Lemon & Garlic Peri Peri Grilled Chicken Burgers. A perfect and fresh summer recipe for Memorial Day that all your friends and family will love! Flavourful with the perfect hint of spice.
A little pro-tip from us, let your chicken breasts marinate for at least 5 hours (OR up to 12 hours) for the ultimate mouth-watering flavors!
Ingredients
FOR THE CHICKEN:
-
4 boneless chicken breasts
-
¼ cup Lemon & Garlic Peri-Peri Sauce
-
½ tbsp Habanero Chili Salt
FOR SMASHED AVO:
-
2 medium avocados
-
½ tbsp Habanero Chili Salt
-
1 tbsp lime juice
 FOR JULIENNE VEG MIX:
-
1/4 cup julienne-cut carrots
-
1/4 cup julienne-cut red peppers
-
1/4 cup julienne-cut yellow peppers
-
1/4 cup julienne-cut red cabbage
-
1 tbsp splash of red wine vinegar
-
½ tbsp splash of olive oil
To Serve:
-
4 fresh burger buns
Directions
Place your 4 chicken breasts into a shallow dish and pour over your Lemon & Garlic Peri Peri and add in your Habanero Chili Salt. Make sure your marinade is fully coating all chicken breasts completely, then cover your bowl with cling wrap and place in the fridge for at least 5 hours.
- Before grilling the chicken, make sure to prep your julienne veg mix and smashed avo. In a medium bowl add in all your pre-cut veggies, olive oil and red wine vinegar, mix well then set aside. Grab another medium bowl, add in your avos and with a fork, smash until you reach a consistency of your liking (we recommend leaving it slightly chunky), then add habanero chili salt & lemon juice.
- Now the time you have been waiting for, heat up your grill and grab yourself a refreshing beverage. Lay the chicken onto the grill and cook each piece for 3-4 minutes per side on direct, medium heat.
- Build your burger with the Julienne Veg and smashed avo and enjoy!
- If you are someone who loves a bit of extra heat, try a few drops of our Bird's Eye Chili sauce!
Recipe Note
- Be sure not to overcook the chicken or they will be dry and tasteless, they should be crisp yet succulent.
- If your chicken breasts are rather thick, we recommend slicing them in half so that they are slightly thinner.
