How to make Cajun Chicken Burgers

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  2. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and toss with Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend.
  3. Oil the grill of the BBQ and cook the chicken on the grill for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
  4. In a bowl, combine shredded carrot, shredded red cabbage, shredded little gem lettuce, Greek yogurt, crushed garlic, sea salt, ground black pepper, lime juice and zest. Mix well.
  5. Place the grilled chicken on warmed ciabatta rolls.
  6. Top with a generous serving of coleslaw.

Tips

 

Tips:

  1. Marinating Time: For extra flavour, marinate the chicken with the olive oil and Shemin’s Cajun Spice Blend for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  2. Grill Marks: To get beautiful grill marks, avoid moving the chicken too much while it’s cooking.
  3. Chicken Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 75°C/165°F.
  4. Coleslaw Prep: Prepare the coleslaw in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavours to meld together.
  5. Serving Option: For a lighter option, serve the Cajun chicken and coleslaw on a bed of mixed greens instead of ciabatta rolls.
  6. Additional Toppings: Add sliced avocado, Shemin’s Aubergine Pickle or Mango Chutney, bacon or a slice of cheese to your burger for extra flavour and texture.
  7. Other Cooking Methods: You can also cook the chicken in a pan / grill / air fryer.

My husband enjoys all the pickles but we have to buy Lime pickle elsewhere. Is this something that might be offered in the future.
