Ingredients

  • 1 Chicken breast
  • 100 g Cornflakes
  • 80 g Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 Eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 Brioche burger buns
For the sauce:
  • 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Harissa
Optional toppings:
  • 2 Slices of applewood cheese
  • 4 Baby gem lettuce leaves
  • 2 Slices of tomato
  • 2 Gherkins sliced
  • 1 Red onion sliced

Instructions

  • In this recipe the chicken is coated in the cornflakes. Tip them into a mixing bowl and use your hands to crush them into a crumb. You want them to resemble panko breadcrumbs.
  • In another bowl add the flour and season it with the salt and pepper. In a third bowl add the beaten eggs.
  • Slice the chicken breast in half lengthways, then coat it in the seasoned flour, followed by the eggs and finally into the crushed cornflakes.
  • Heat about a cm of oil in a large frying pan, then over a medium to high heat, fry the chicken until its golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
  • Remove it from the pan and pop it onto kitchen paper to get rid of any excess oil.
  • I like to melt the cheese over the chicken, to do this lay a slice of cheese over each piece of chicken and melt it either in the oven or under the grill.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce by mixing the mayo with the harissa. Then toast the bun in a dry pan over a high heat.
  • Once you’ve done that you can assemble the burger. If you’re using the same toppings as me then I started with the sauce on the base of the bun, then the lettuce, chicken (with melted cheese), more sauce, tomato, gherkins and then the sliced red onion.
  • Pop the lid of the bun on top and enjoy!
