Grilled Cajun-spiced chicken breasts topped with bacon, avocado and cheese... set to become a Friday night favourite

Fully loaded Cajun chicken burgers

chicken breasts

olive oil

rashers smoked bacon

avocados

ciabatta rolls, split

cheese

baby spinach leaves

mayonnaise (optional)

tbsp cumin

tbsp coriander

paprika

Mix the seasoning ingredients together with a good grinding of black pepper and a sprinkling of salt, then set aside in a large dish. Heat grill to high. On a board, flatten out the chicken slightly, then drizzle half the oil over and toss in the seasoning until completely coated. Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan, sizzle the chicken for 5 mins on each side until firm, push to one side of the pan, then fry the bacon for a few mins until cooked.

While the chicken is cooking, halve, stone, peel and slice the avocados, and toast the cut sides of the buns. Cover the tops of the buns with cheese, then grill until melted.

To assemble the burgers, spread the buns with mayonnaise if you want, top with a handful of spinach, then a rasher of bacon. To keep the avocado in place, slice the chicken, then alternate between a slice of chicken and avocado. Top with the bun, press down lightly and serve.

Pan-seared boneless chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado mayonnaise make up this delicious, soul-satisfying sandwich.

Pan-Seared Chicken Sandwich with Avocado Mayo

boneless (skinless chicken breast halves (about 1-1/4 lb))

Salt and black pepper

cayenne (optional)

bacon

vegetable oil

sandwich rolls (sliced)

tomato (sliced)

Lettuce

medium Hass avocados (mashed)

lemon

mayonnaise

garlic (very finely chopped)

Combine the avocados, lemon juice, mayonnaise, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside.

If your chicken breasts have tenderloins attached, remove them and reserve for another use.

Place the breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to a uniform thickness of 1/2-inch.

Season with salt, pepper and a sprinkling of cayenne if desired.

Fry the bacon until crisp, drain on a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat.

Add the oil to the bacon fat and heat over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken in a single layer and cook until golden on the outside and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Build the sandwich by adding a layer of lettuce and tomato to each roll. Top with a piece of chicken, 2 slices of bacon and a generous dollop of avocado mayo. Serve immediately.
