These Peri Peri Style Chicken Burgers are the ultimate fakeaway treat for busy weeknights or casual weekend dining. In just 22 minutes, these burgers come together with boneless, skinless chicken breast cooked in a gorgeous spiced marinade featuring paprika, oregano, garlic and onion.
Marinate the chicken – Place the chicken in a medium bowl along with the marinade ingredients. Use your hands to coat.
Cook the chicken – Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for 8–10 minutes. Turn once halfway through and add ¼ cup (60 ml) of water to help loosen the crispy bits. Rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.
Assemble and serve – Serve the brioche buns topped with coleslaw, cooked chicken, sliced cheese and chilli mayonnaise.
