Instructions
Before you start
- Preheat oven to 220℃ or 200℃ fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Prep chicken
- Pat 600 g chicken breast dry. Place your hand flat on the top of the chicken and slice through horizontally. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a medium bowl with 1 tbsp flour and toss to coat. Add 1 egg to the same bowl and toss to coat the chicken. Add 1 cup panko breadcrumbs to another bowl with a pinch of salt. Add the chicken to the crumbs and press to coat.
Cook chicken
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Place on the prepared oven tray, grate over 1 cup mozzarella and season with salt.
Melt cheese
- Cook chicken in the oven on the upper oven rack for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is just melted. Once cooked, cut the chicken into bun-sized pieces.
Prep buns
- Cut 4 burger buns in half, place on an oven tray and cook on the lower oven rack for about 5 minutes, until heated through.
To finish
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine ¼ cup basil pesto and 2 tbsp mayonnaise. Thinly slice 1 tomato. Peel 1 cucumber into ribbons and place it in a large bowl with 2 cups mixed green salad. Add 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar and toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
To serve
- Spread the buns with the basil pesto mayo and tomato sauce. Fill with the salad, chicken and tomato slices. Serve any leftover salad on the side.
