Authentic Grilled Nando’s Chicken Burger Recipe

Cooking from home doesn’t have to be dull; there are so many meals you can prepare to feel like you are having a takeaway at home. Today I am sharing how to create a Peri Peri Nando’s Grilled Chicken Burger in no time. I promise this Nando’s burger take on the classic chicken burger will impress even the fussiest of eaters as it’s full of flavour.

Cooking homemade meals that feel like eating out seems to be the way to our boy’s hearts. They almost forget because it is homemade healthy, and the fact that we can cook the chicken burgers on the BBQ on a sunny day is always a winner.

How To Make An Authentic Tasting Nando’s Chicken Burger At Home.

You Will Need…

• 4 chicken breasts
• Nando’s Peri Peri Marinade ( Can be found in most supermarkets)
• 4 brioche buns
• 1 onion
• 8 slices of low fat cheddar cheese
• Gem Lettuce
• 2 beef tomatoes
• 1 tbsp low fat mayonnaise
• 1 bell pepper (optional)

How To Make A Home-Made Nando’s Grilled Chicken Burger

Cut any visible fat or gristle off the chicken breasts, then batter with a rolling pin. This breaks the tissue down and flattens the chicken.

Put the Nando’s peri peri rub into a bowl. Cut each chicken breast in half before using tongs to coat your chicken breast in the Nando’s peri peri rub, ensuring you thoroughly coat each chicken breast.

Slice the onion and fry it with low-fat spray adding a little water to soften, and sauté in a large frying pan.

Place the grill on high and grill your chicken for around 20 minutes turning at intervals, ensuring they are thoroughly cooked. Once cooked, lay the sliced cheese on top of half the chicken pieces to melt.

In the meantime, wash and slice the tomatoes and lettuce. Also, cut and grill the brioche buns on both sides.

Now build your Nando’s Peri Peri Chicken Burger double layering your chicken with one piece of chicken with cheese and one without to create a chunky double-layered Nando’s style burger.

Can you Freeze These Peri Peri Nando’s Chicken Burgers?

Yes, as long as the chicken is not previously frozen, the coating may be sticky and soggy when defrosting. For this reason, I recommend making it fresh.

However, if you are preparing for a BBQ, it is possible to prepare 24 hours before and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.
