Summer is here… That means so is grilling and patio partaaay time! This is a tasty and easy burger pretty much anyone can make at home, either on the grill or in a pan. I’ve come across similar recipes which asked for a ton of mayo, so I decided to come up with one that is just as delicious (even more in my opinion) yet much healthier. The addition of the dijon and sriracha ads bite, flavour, and keeps the amount of mayo down, making it also much lighter.. perfect for summer 🙂

Ingredients:  (2 servings)

Spicy Creamy Dijon

• 3 Tbs Dijon Mustard
• 1 Tbs Mayo
• 1 tsp sriracha sauce
• 1 Garlic Clove, minced 
finely
• Grated zest  of 1 Lime
• 3/4 tsp salt to taste

• 1 skinless boneless chicken breast split in 2 by butterflying it
• juice of 1 lime (same lime you used for zest)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• salt & pepper
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 ¼-inch-thick slices aged cheddar cheese
• salt & pepper

• Tomato sliced (best quality you can find…really does affect taste)
