Cajun Chicken Burger

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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.

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 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.coleslaw ingredients in a bowl

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.
