Hot Honey Chicken “Zinger” Burgers 🍔🔥

These are my favourite for a fakeaway burger night at home. Crispy Dorito coated chicken fillets glazed in hot honey, finished with melted cheese in a soft bun. Perfect with a crunchy salad or some homemade fries 🤌🏼

Save this for your next fakeaway night 💕

Ingredients (serves 2):
2 x 110g chicken breast, butterflied  1 tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp garlic granules 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
White pepper  Salt
10g cornflakes, finely crushed 30g chilli heatwave doritos crushed  1 small egg whisked
35g honey
1 tbsp hot sauce
2 reduced fat cheese slices
2 brioche buns (I used st Pierre which are higher cal you can use supermarket own to lower cals)
2 heaped tsp lighter mayo
50g shredded lettuce
Pinch of mild chilli flakes

💕Season the butterflied chicken fillets with the smoked paprika, garlic granules, cayenne pepper, white pepper and a good pinch of salt.

💕Mix the crushed cornflakes and Doritos together in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken fillet into the whisked egg, shaking off any excess, then press firmly into the crumb mixture until well coated all over.

💕Place the coated chicken into the air fryer basket and cook at 190°C for 15 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through or bake at 220°C / 200°C fan for 20-22 minutes.

💕In a pan or microwave, gently warm the honey and hot sauce until loose.

💕Once the chicken is cooked, brush a small amount of the hot honey glaze directly over the hot chicken fillets. Place a cheese slice on top of each fillet and allow it to melt slightly from the heat.

💕Lightly toast the brioche buns.

💕Spread the mayo over the base of each bun and top with shredded lettuce. Add the chicken, then spoon over the remaining hot honey glaze and scatter over the chilli flakes just before adding the top bun.

One Pan Creamy Cajun chicken & chorizo gnocchi 🤍

Proper comfort food that the whole family will love, but still high protein and lower cal at just 516 cals with 43g protein per portion. Easy, cosy and perfect for busy weeknights. Plus all done in one pan so less washing up 🤌🏼

Ingredients (serves 4):
65g chorizo diced
500g chicken breast diced
1 tbsp cajun seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt
Black pepper
400g fresh gnocchi
1 heaped tsp chopped garlic
2 red pepper diced
2 tbsp tomato puree
1 chicken stock cube crumbled
200ml Elmea single cream alternative
150ml hot water
80g mozzarella grated
30g reduced fat cheddar grated
2-3 sprigs of fresh parsley chopped

💕Fry off the diced chorizo until crisp and the oils have released. Lift the chorizo out with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the oil in the pan.

💕Add the diced chicken to the pan. Season with the Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring regularly, until the chicken is lightly golden on the outside.

💕Add the chopped garlic and diced red peppers and cook for a further 2-3 minutes until starting to soften.

💕Stir in the tomato purée and cook it out for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the crumbled stock cube, then pour in the hot water and cream. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.

💕Add the gnocchi directly to the pan and stir to coat in the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi is tender and the sauce has thickened.

💕Lower the heat and scatter over the mozzarella and cheddar. Cover the pan with a lid for 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted.

💕Finish by scattering the crispy chorizo and fresh parsley over the top just before serving.
