Ingredients

1 large chicken breast

1 tablespoon plain flour

1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon celery salt

4 sourdough buns or similar

spray oil

1 tablespoon rice bran oil, for frying

50 gram gourmet lettuce

1/4 cucumber, peeled into ribbons

1 avocado, sliced

1 small red onion, sliced into rings

1/2 cup aioli

1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard

8 little kumaras, cut into wedges lengthwise

1/4 cup olive oil

1 teaspoon herb and garlic sea salt

Method

1.Slice the chicken breast into 4 thin escallops (of even thickness). In a bowl, combine the flour, seasoning and celery salt.

2.Preheat a large grill pan or frying pan. Cut the buns in half horizontally and lightly spray with oil. Sear the cut side in the pan until golden and set aside.

3.Dredge each chicken slice with the seasoned flour. Add a little oil to the pan and sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes each side over a medium heat.

4.Layer the toasted buns with lettuce, cucumber, avocado and red onion, then top with the seared chicken breast. Dollop on the combined aioli and mustard, finishing with a top bun. Serve with kumara wedges.

5.For the wedges, preheat the oven to 185°C. Toss the kumara with the oil and seasoned salt, then arrange on a lined baking tray. Bake for 25 minutes until tender.

Burgers are simple to make and always popular with the family. This meal makes one chicken breast go a long way – you’ll be surprised! The kumara wedges are simple and delicious, and make this a hearty dinner.
