Notes
- Want some cheese on this? Grilled halloumi would go very well on it.
- You can grill or fry these burgers instead if it isn't BBQ season.
- Use this cajun seasoning to sprinkle on salmon too and put it under the grill.
- These burgers are best eaten right away.
- You could make a low carb version of these by skipping the bun and using a giant lettuce leaf to hold the burger and toppings together.
- If you want this to cook quicker, then you could butterfly the chicken breast.
