SOME PREP
Preheat the oven to the grill setting or the highest temperature. Pat the Chicken dry with paper towel and place flat-side down on a cutting board. Place the palm of your non-cutting hand on top of the breast. Using a sharp knife, cut through it horizontally to make two thin breast pieces. Lay the pieces side-by-side and cover with cling wrap. Using a mallet, empty jar, or rolling pin, tenderise them by gently pounding until halved in thickness. Season and set aside.
TOASTY NUTS
Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. In the final 1-2 minutes, add 5ml of a sweetener of choice and toast until caramelised. Remove from the pan.
CHARRED Chicken
Place a pan or griddle pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
CHEESY BUNS
Slice the buns in half horizontally and butter the cut sides. Return the pan to a medium-high heat. When hot, add the halved buns, buttered side down, and fry until warmed through and golden. Remove from the pan and place the bottom halves of the buns on a roasting tray. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and grill in the hot oven for 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. In a bowl, combine the mayo with the pesto and some seasoning.
ALL TOGETHER
In a salad bowl, add ½ the green leaves, the caramelised nuts, a drizzle of olive oil, and some seasoning. Toss until fully combined.
DEVOUR MOMENT
Time to assemble! Place the remaining green leaves on the cheesy bottom halves, top with the spiced Chicken, the sliced Gherkins, and the sliced tomatoes. Smear the top half of the bun with the pesto-mayo and close up! Serve the salad on the side with any remaining toppings. Well done Chef!
