with mayo sauce

This Italian-inspired burger features a moreish pesto mayo and perhaps best of all, a golden chicken breast sandwiched between two beautiful brioche buns. As if that's not enough, herby baby potatoes round out the dish.

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Halve the potatoes widthways (quarter larger potatoes).
  • When boiling, add the potatoes to the water, lower the heat to medium and cook until fork tender, 15-20 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat.
  • Mix in a knob of butter and the oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
Prep the Chicken
2
  • Meanwhile, place your hand flat on top of the chicken breast.
  • Slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Fry the Chicken
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • When hot, add the chicken and season with salt and pepper
  • Cook through, 3-6 mins each side. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded.

4
  • Thinly slice the tomato.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayo and pesto. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Warm the Buns
5
  • When everything is almost ready, pop the buns into the oven. 
  • Cook until warmed, 2-3 mins.
6
  • Spread the pesto mayo over the cut side of the buns.
  • Top the bun bases with slices of tomato and pan-fried chicken.
  • Add a handful of salad leaves then sandwich closed with the bun lid. 
  • Serve the herby baby potatoes and remaining salad leaves alongside.
