Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 30 minutes
- Butterfly the chicken breasts (cut in half horizontally and open up like a book). Put in a dish, season well and drizzle over 1 tbsp lime juice, a little olive oil and toss. Leave for 10 minutes.
- Put the avocado, chilli, coriander, garlic and the rest of the lime juice in a bowl, roughly mash together and season.
- BBQ the chicken for 2-3 mins on each side, until cooked. Rest under foil for 3 minutes. Put some lettuce on the bottom of each bun. Top with the chicken, a dollop of the guacamole, some soured cream and jalapenos. Serve tabasco on the side for those who want extra heat.
