I work across the road from a fast food burger joint, and their delicious aromas are constantly calling my name. If you've been following my blog for a while, you will know that I've been trying to eat much healthier lately. On Saturday, the burger craving was BAD!

I decided to make my easy and healthier version of a takeout burger. The chicken is juicy and flavourful, and the fresh red onions and coriander go so well with the mayo and chicken

And so, of course, I decided to share the recipe with you, my lovely Steemians 😍😍

INGREDIENTS

• 1 x small chicken breast per burger
• 1 x sesame brioche roll per burger
• small handful baby spinach
• 1 x red onion, very thinly sliced
• small handful coriander, torn apart
• mayo to serve
• 1 chicken stock cube - diluted in half the required amount of water
• barbeque sauce of choice

---

METHOD

Preheat your oven to a low heat - 150'C, or 300'F. Slice your chicken breasts in half, and butterfly into patties. Lay them down in an oven safe dish, and cover in the chicken stock reduction. Salt and pepper the chicken breasts, and then baste the breasts with the barbeque sauce.

I have this cute little silicone basting brush I use to do this with. It looks a little like this:

Bake at 150'C for about thirty minutes, turning once or twice. While they cook, prep your buns.

I like to smear a little mayo on the buns. I then build my burger. Baby spinach as a bed for the chicken, and the rest above the chicken

After thirty minutes, check if the patties are cooked all the way through, and remove from the oven if so. You can add some flour to the leftover stock reduction, and heat on the hob for a few minutes to make yourself a delicious barbeque sauce.

😋 Serve with a side of your choice - I chose crispy skinny fries and a few slices of avocado
