Ingredients
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 2 large onions, halved and sliced
- 15¾ oz chicken breast, cut in half horizontally into thin steaks
- 4 slices Swiss or other melting cheese
- 4 soft brioche burger buns
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 2 large tomatoes, sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- French fries or baked potato wedges, to serve
Method
- Mix the mayonnaise with the minced garlic in a small bowl and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, for 10 to 12 minutes, until soft and golden. Transfer to a bowl.
- Mix the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, garlic powder and onion powder on a plate. Coat each piece of chicken evenly in the seasoned flour.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden, crisp and cooked through.
- Lay a cheese slice on each piece of chicken, cover the pan for 30 to 60 seconds until the cheese melts, then remove from the heat.
- Toast the cut sides of the buns lightly in the pan or under the grill.
- Spread garlic mayonnaise on the bun bases and tops. Layer each base with lettuce, tomato, avocado, a piece of cheesy chicken and a spoonful of the cooked onions. Close with the bun tops.
- Serve immediately, with French fries or baked potato wedges.
