Chicken AND avocado WAFFLE
A gluten-free burger needn’t be sandwiched between crumbly not-quite-bread. This delicious alt-bun is high in protein and healthy fats**
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp cajun seasoning • 50ml lemon juice • 50ml rapeseed oil • and • 4 salt pepper chicken breasts • 2 avocados • 4 eggs • 500ml • egg white 250g gluten-free oats • 300ml skimmed milk • 250g ground almonds • 100g zero-fat yoghurt • 100g low-fat sour cream • ¾ tsp • chilli flakes ½ tsp smoked paprika • ½ tsp chipotle powder • 4 handfuls of spinach
METHOD
1. Mix together the cajun seasoning, lemon juice (leave some for the avo smash) and rapeseed oil, then season. Slather over your chicken and leave to marinate for six hours or overnight for more flavour. 2. Mash the avocado with a little lemon juice and season. 3. For the waffles, blitz the eggs and the egg white until nice and foamy. Then add the oats and continue blending while you add the milk and ground almonds. Pour into a waffle iron and cook eight waffles until golden. 4. Avo smashed and waffle prepped, it’s time to grill your chicken. Give it 5 mins on one side before flipping over on to the other side for 3-4 mins, or until cooked through. 5. Meanwhile, stir together the yoghurt, sour cream and spices to make your sauce and season to taste. 6. Now to build the burger. Top one waffle with a dollop of sauce, a handful of spinach, a chicken breast and some of the smashed avocado, then top with another waffle. Finger lickin’ good.
