  • A guilty pleasure of mine is the infamous chicken burger You cannot beat a piece of chicken, two

  • pieces of bread and some mayonnaise Unless of course you give it an italian twist

  • Oooooo I like it Sacre bleu

  • Italian Jamie! Ahh say swe say swoi??! WTF?

  • So we are going to make our chicken burger, make our very own version

  • using a red pesto and breadcrumb coating Hell yes! So thats our Italian twist

  • Served in a nice fresh Ciabatta loaf, some salad and some really bouncy lovely mozzarella

  • Bouncy, bouncy?!

  • Italian flavours on a classic.

  • So to start with we will get our chicken underway... what we want to do

  • is batter them out a bit so that they are nice and flat and they will cook evenly

  • so that they are nice and flat and they will cook evenly

  • because obviously a chicken breast is always going to be

  • bigger at one end than the other so with no knives just flatten them out a bit

  • without knocking holes in them Just use the palm of your hand

  • That is battered... well and truly

  • Flat breasted enough?! Try not to go quite so aggressively

  • I got a little bit carried away What you are looking for is a nice flat breast like that

  • what we nee to do is smear our red pesto

  • and this is our twist, onto here. So traditionally and chicken burger would be made with panne

  • so flower, egg and breadcrumbs

  • we are going to get rid of the flower and egg, and we are just going to put pesto on. So if you could just rub that into our chicken breast. Damn

  • So that you get a nice good smearing, and jaust while he does that if you could emty out breadcrumbs

  • into a bowl

  • onto that plate

  • now these breadcrumbs are ones that we put in the freezer

  • ages and ages ago

  • from when we had a third of a loaf left over

  • before it goes stale

  • blitz it up

  • put it in the freezer, then you always have them to hand

  • so what we'll need is a little bit of oil heated up in our pan

  • like so

  • and then... how's your chicken coming along?

  • smothered You are well and truly smothered... if you can just put one very carefully into there

  • there we go, and all we need to do is get those breadcrumbs to stick to the pesto

  • and because we flattened it out it will cook nice and quick

  • we're making our chicken burger with these really rustic crumbs

  • and if you can put the other one in there I just washed my hands! And again

  • it's what you are here for, I dont want to get messy. There we go.

  • You can just tell that this is going to be delicious

  • you can already smell the pesto and stuff like that... such awesome flavours

  • so once we have all those breadcrumbs on there

  • into our pan, a medium heat

  • you want it to fry

  • but not burn before it cooks. We'll put the other into the pan next to it

  • like that, job done

  • The next bit is to make our salad. So everything is going to into our bun

  • so you mentioned you like a nice bap, the lettuce the mayonnaise

  • its exactly what we are going for

  • Ciabatta so a nice ciabatta loaf It's got the letter T in it barry!

  • so a little smearing of mayonnaise

  • nice! If you can put that on there

  • and jamie you are going to make our pesto mayonnaise to go on the side

  • so if you can just stir that into there

  • what a combo!

  • that's to dunk with later on, and you'll se that in a second

  • we've got a pesto mayonnaise there and plain mayonnaise here

  • now, take some of our lettuce leaves, ice berg if you like...

  • it's got a nice crunch Romano?

  • if you can slice some tomatoes I can Across this way

  • so it's important we are not cooking these chicken breasts too quickly, otherwise the bread will burn

  • but we should now be able to turn them over

  • and get a nice golden crunch

  • Smells so good!

  • we'll give that another couple of seconds on the other side

  • Jamie, now you have mixed that can you put it in there so it looks nice and tidy

  • and over on this side

  • our final italian flavour, mozzarella. So if you can just slice a couple of slices of those

  • Awesome. Now what we need to do is add a couple of layers of tomato onto the sandwich

  • couple of mozzarella, put it on last so that when the chicken goes on top

  • it helps it melt

  • in fact we have enough here for

  • two anyway so

  • i'll just cut through there

  • Even on its own it's and awesome sandwich It is an awesome sandwich

  • even without the chicken, but i think chicken will take it to another level. and its kind of crucial...

  • in a chicken burger

  • now our chicken is done always check it and cut into it to make sure it is clear all the way through

  • but we can now place

  • the chicken onto that mozzarella

  • it'll really help it ooze, for now we will plate one and come back to the others

  • look at that! Jamies got some chips in the oven

  • Yes I have!

  • these are simply cut up into chunks, skin on and cooked

  • in a hot oven

  • for about forty minutes

  • So they go nice and crispy. And you've that awesome awesome dip there J Thank you very much ;)

  • So there you go... our take on a chicken burger with an italian twist

  • Sorted

  • There we go....

  • I know you've been waiting for this one

  • Yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

  • ooozzy oooozzy

  • the mozzarella! So good

  • a simple change

  • with the pesto instead of the egg and flour

  • completely transforms the dish... Much better than a takeaway
