This Cajun Chicken Burger is about as easy as it gets for a mid week meal. Dust your chicken breast and go. Just what is needed in times of stress and when a real taste sensation is required to lift the hormonal soul. A real foodie fix without the foodie faff.
Cajun Chicken Burger.
This recipe for a Cajun Chicken Burger has been fabulous for me this week. I have been able to deliver an easy mid week meal that is delicious and puts a smile on everyone's lips.
A real crowd pleaser. It isn't really even a recipe such is it's simplicity. I can't believe I have never thought of cooking it before.
Perfect for when you really cannot be bothered to get your life together. It's a literal dusting then frying. Bob and Fanny would be ecstatic.
I use a rolling pin to bash the chicken breasts a bit flatter and to tenderise the meat.
I pop them in a freezer bag to do this. Otherwise an element of road kill might enter your kitchen. Chicken back splatter is never a good thing.
If you BBQ this cajun dusted chicken then oil the griddle.
I serve them with my classic coleslaw usually which I try to make beforehand. In the summer I usually have a bowl always in the fridge. You can't beat a bit of cold cabbage. Do take the time to shred the cabbage thinly.
Of course to avoid the calories you could ditch the bun and use a wrap instead. Load it with avocado and it's positively healthy.
I use the buns that I personally like the most. I have used a Brioche bun for the picture but to be honest I find most of the Brioche supermarket ones rather dry.
It would be a travesty to let the Bun spoil the moment. Pick wisely.
A lovely side to serve with this is my Potato Salad. Another dish that you can grab from the fridge for an easy midweek meal.

Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp cajun seasoning not spicy
- oil for frying
- 4 burger rolls
Instructions
Coleslaw
- Add all the coleslaw ingredients together and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
Cajun Chicken
- Flatten out the chicken breasts a little with a rolling pin. About 3 cm thick. I do this in a large freezer bag. Add oil to a frying pan and heat the pan.
- Dab the chicken breasts in the spices to give an even covering.
- Fry for five mins or so each side until cooked through. I always cut a hole in the middle of the breast to check. Divide into 4.
- Load up your buns with the chicken and top with coleslaw.
- Apply to Stubbly Face.
