/Creamy Chorizo Pasta
Recipe by Brent Draper
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
2 brioche burger buns, split
2 Coles chicken breast fillets, pounded evenly
1 cup mixed Coles green and red oak leaf lettuce, washed and dried
2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
Tartar Sauce
3 tbs mayonnaise
1 tbs finely chopped fresh dill
1 tbs gherkin relish
1 tbs capers, finely chopped
1 small shallot, finely minced
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp grated lemon zest
Coles salt and freshly ground black pepper
Breading
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Method
Make the tartar sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, dill, relish, capers, shallot, lemon juice, and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble the burgers.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
Pat the chicken fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge the fillets in the flour, dip in the egg, and then coat evenly with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Assemble the burgers: Place the bottom buns on a work surface. Top each with a portion of the oak leaf lettuce, a fried chicken fillet, a slice of cheese, and a generous dollop of the tartar sauce. Top with the upper buns.
