( Serves Size: 2 )
M I
2 Chicken breasts
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
4 tsp Jerk seasoning spices
2 Burger buns
2 Tinned pineapple rings
1 Medium carrot, grated
2 cups Rocket (arugula)
1 tbsp Lime juice
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tbsp Vinegar of choice
To taste Salt and ground pepper
20 sprays Spray cooking oil

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with jerk seasoning, salt, pepper, and the BBQ sauce.

Step 2

Heat a little oil in a pan over low–medium heat to prevent the BBQ sauce from burning. Pan-fry the chicken for around 20 minutes, flipping halfway, until fully cooked through.

Step 3

While the chicken cooks, prepare the salad by mixing the grated carrot, rocket, vinegar, olive oil and a squeeze of lime juice.

Step 4

Add the pineapple rings to the pan during the final 2–3 minutes of cooking, browning them on both sides.

Step 5

Toast the burger buns. Layer the pineapple, then the chicken, then the carrot-rocket salad. Add extra BBQ sauce or low fat mayonnaise (optional) if you like. Serve immediately.

Recipe Notes
  • Use mild or hot jerk seasoning depending on your spice preference. Use wholemeal or seeded buns for extra fibre. 

Cooking Tips
  • For extra smoky flavour, cook the chicken on a grill pan. If the sauce thickens too much, reduce the heat slightly.

Storage Instructions
  • Cooked chicken stores well for up to 2-3 days in the fridge. Keep the salad separate to stay crisp.
