Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup /80g flour ((any white))
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp paprika
1 tsp thyme
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
2 tbsp olive oil
2 large onions (, halved them sliced (white, brown or yellow))
400 - 500g / 14 oz - 1 lb chicken breast (2 pieces) (, cut in half horizontally into 2 thin steaks)
4 - 8 slices Swiss or other melting cheese slices ((Note 1))
4 soft rolls ((I used brioche burger buns))
1 avocado
Lettuce
2 large tomatoes
½ cup mayonnaise ((I use whole egg))
1 large garlic clove (, minced)
French fries
Baked potato wedges

Steps:

  • Mix Garlic Mayo ingredients in a small bowl, set aside for 20+ minutes.
  • Mix Seasoning in a flat bowl / dish.
  • If required, pound chicken to about 1 cm / 2/5" thick. If wanting to be exact, trim to shape of rolls BUT ensure it is about 15% larger (it shrinks) (Note 2).
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over high heat (if doing on BBQ, drizzle flat plate).
  • Add onion and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper, toss, then remove.
  • While cooking the onions, preheat oven to 160C/320F. Split rolls, then lightly toast / warm the rolls (if using BBQ, just toast the cut side until crispy). Leave in turned off oven with door ajar while you cook chicken.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil into the same skillet, still on high heat.
  • Dredge chicken in Seasoning, shake off excess, then place in skillet. Repeat.
  • Cook for 2 ½ minutes until golden, then flip.
  • Top with cheese then leave for 1 1/2 minutes. When the underside is golden, if the cheese is not yet melted, place lid on for 15 seconds (or tray or foil).
  • Remove chicken from skillet onto plate. Cover loosely with foil while you start assembling the burgers.
