<h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>
Prepare your chicken by gently pounding the breast to an even thickness. This ensures it cooks evenly. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and lightly brush with PERi-PERi sauce. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes to infuse the flavours.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>
Preheat your grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat. Brush lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and charred on the outside. Halfway through, brush the chicken with more PERi-PERi sauce for an extra kick.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>
While the chicken is grilling, mix mayonnaise with lemon zest, lemon juice, and dried herbs to make your Lemon & Herb mayo. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>
Toast the Portuguese rolls lightly on the grill for a minute on each side, or until they are warm and slightly crisp.
</li>
<li class="MethodStepper">
<h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>
To assemble the burger, spread a generous amount of Lemon & Herb mayo on the bottom half of each roll. Add a lettuce leaf, a slice of grilled chicken, a few slices of tomato, and then drizzle PERi-Ketchup on top. Cap with the top half of the roll.
