Quick Pulled Chicken Burger With Sweet Chilli
Fancy a chicken burger? How about a super flavoursome Sweet Chilli Chicken Burger that is ready in under 30 minutes? Yes, that's right! Our Quick Pulled Chicken Burger recipe is easy to make without any special equipment (no bbq grill, or slow cooker needed!) and tastes amazing! Slightly sweet, mildly spicy shredded chicken burger topped with a bunch of fresh crunchy veggies served in a buttery brioche bun - does it get any better than that?
Ingredients
- 250 g chicken breasts
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon chilli powder
- 2 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
- 2 brioche burger buns cut in half
- 2 tablespoon creme fraiche or mayo or sour cream
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 6 slices of cucumber
- ¼ bell pepper cut into thin strips
Instructions
- Rub the paprika and chilli powder all over the chicken breasts.
- Heat a tablespoon of oil to a frying pan, add the chicken breasts (you can flatten them or cut them in half for quicker cooking) and cook on low-medium heat, covered with a lid for 8-9 minutes, then flip them over and carry on cooking for another 8-9 minutes. The time required will depend on the thickness of the breasts, so make sure your chicken is fully cooked through (the internal temperature of the chicken breast should be at 74° C (165° F), and there should be no visible pink parts if you cut into it). Reserve the pan your chicken was cooked in (including any juices).
- Once cooked, shredd the chicken into small pieces using two forks.
- Add the sweet chilli sauce to the reserved pan and heat on low-setting just until it's warmed through (don't let it boil). Add the chicken into the pan and stir everything together. Take it off the heat, cover with a lid and set aside.
- Toast your brioche buns in a toaster or in the oven for a couple of minutes (keep an eye on them, brioche buns burn quickly).
- Spread half a teaspoon of creme fraiche (sour cream or mayo) on each of the 4 halves of the buns. Place two lettuce leaves on each of the bottom halves of the buns. Spoon the sweet chilli shredded chicken and arrange the cucumber and pepper on top. Place the top halves of the buns on top and enjoy!
