Cullen's Grilled Breast Burger
2 x chicken breast fillets
4 x sesame seed hamburger buns
1 1/3 cup chopped lettuce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
8 x tomato slices
MARINADE
3/4 cup water
2 tsp ketchup
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1/8 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/8 tsp oregano
1 dsh onion powder
1 dsh parsley
Method :
Make the marinade by combining the ingredients in a medium bowl.
Prepare the chicken by cutting each breast in half. Fold a piece of plastic wrap
around each piece of chicken and pound the meat with a tenderizing mallet until
it is about 1/4-inch thick and about the same diameter as the hamburger buns.
Place the chicken into the marinade, cover it, and chill for at least four
hours. Overnight is even better.
Preheat your barbecue or indoor grill to high heat. Grill the chicken for 3 to 4
minutes per side or until done. Toast the faces of the hamburger buns in a pan
or griddle, in a toaster over, or face-down on the grill. Watch the buns closely
to be certain that the faces turn only light brown and do not burn.
Build each sandwich from the top down by first spreading about a tablespoon of
the mayonnaise on the toasted face of a top bun. Spread about 1/3 cup of chopped
lettuce over the mayonnaise. Arrange two tomato slices on the lettuce.
Place a chicken breast on the toasted face of the bottom bun. Flip the top part
of the sandwich over onto the bottom and scarf out.
