Cooking Steps

1

• Thinly slice brown onion. • Thinly slice tomato. • Finely shred baby cos lettuce (see ingredients). • Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.

2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion, stirring regularly, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Add the balsamic vinegar (for the onion), the brown sugar and a splash of water. Mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. • Transfer to a small bowl.

3

• Cut corn cob in half. • Transfer corn to a large microwave-safe plate. Cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave corn on high, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Drain any excess liquid. Season with salt and pepper.

4

• Wash and dry frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook chicken steaks until cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-6 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded).

5

• Meanwhile, halve bake-at-home burger buns and bake directly on a wire rack in the oven, until heated through, 2-3 minutes. • Reserve a handful of the cos lettuce for the burgers, then place the rest in a medium bowl. • Add the balsamic vinegar (for the salad) and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat. Season to taste.

6

• Spread the bun bases with creamy pesto dressing. • Top with reserved lettuce, the tomato slices, hearty chicken and caramelised onion. • Serve with corn cob and salad. Enjoy!
