Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, piri-piri sauce, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Marinate the chicken breast fillets in this mixture and let it sit for 20 minutes.
2
Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and cooked through. TIP: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
3
During the last minute of grilling, place the cheddar cheese slices on top of the chicken breasts and cover the pan to allow the cheese to melt nicely.
4
Toast the inside of the hamburger buns on the grill pan until crispy.
5
Prepare the vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion, and wash the iceberg lettuce leaves.
6
Assemble the burger: Spread piri-piri sauce on the bottom bun, then add lettuce, the cheesy chicken breast, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
7
Serve hot with freshly cooked fries or sweet potato fries. TIP: Offer extra piri-piri sauce on the side for dipping.
