Nae-FC: the ultimate homemade chicken burger
12th June 2018Get ready for my next fakeaway recipe: I’m taking on the chicken burger.
Chicken burger under wraps
Succulent chicken breast with bacon, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato on a brioche burger bun. The marinade on this one is spectacular and you’re definitely going to want to try it.
Especially when you find out it’s only 440 calories! 😲
KFC? Nae-FC!!
Chicken burger with sides
Combine the marinade ingredients in a large freezer bag - preferably a zip-lock one to minimise the risk of spillage!
Take one of the chicken breasts and cut it in half lengthways from top to bottom so that you have 2 symmetrical halves. Then carefully "butterfly" each half, taking care not to cut all the way through.
Repeat with the other two chicken breasts and add all of the meat to the marinade. Seal the bag and then give it a good shake to ensure all the ingredients are mixed well. Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Preheat your George Foreman grill. When it has reached cooking temperature, spray each plate a few times with 1-cal cooking spray. Then add the chicken and bacon and close the lid. Cook for 3 minutes. Put a slice of cheese on top of the chicken and then place a slice of bacon on top. Cook for a further 1 minute.
Assemble the chicken, bacon and cheese on a brioche bun with your choice of salad and sauce.
