Directions
Let's Prep!
-
Slice your Chicken breast sideways, you can use a meat tenderiser to even the thickness out but its not essential.
-
In a bowl combine the oil and Spice Pantry Barbecue Dry Rub Blend together.
-
Lightly brush and cover both sides of the chicken with the combined mixture.
Let's Cook!
Air Fryer
-
Place your chicken in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes at 180°c, then turn and cook for a further 8-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. If you have a meat thermometer, then the internal temperature should be 165°f/ 74°c.
Oven Cook
-
Preheat oven to 180°c
-
Cook on rack or a baking tray, loosely cover the chicken in foil and cook for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and let it cook for a further 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Stove Top
-
Pour some oil into a large frying pan on a medium high heat and add the seasoned chicken and cook for 8 minutes each side or until the chicken is fully cooked, we place a lid over the pan during cooking as this keeps in the moisture and makes the chicken juicy and tender.
Serving suggestions
-
Serve in a bun, we like using toasted ciabatta rolls but brioche, burger buns or even a crusty white roll or a baguette will work just fine with fries or wedges. Also, very good sliced up in sandwiches with a dollop of mayonnaise.
Filling suggestions
-
Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, relish, tomato sauce or mayo (my favourite!). Get creative!
-
Add them all together just how you like it.
-
Chips? Go on. You know it makes sense to have a few on the side. Take a look at our chip seasoning recipe for perfect crispy healthy chips.
Recipe Note
Cook an extra couple of breasts, slice them and add to your favourite bread the next day with butter and mayonnaise. I always do that and it's so much better and less expensive than shop bought chicken slices.
As with most of our recipes, they can be turned into a vegetarian option just by swapping out the meat but be careful as the timings may differ.
