Step 1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm chips. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 25-30 minutes.

Step 2

While the chips are baking, thinly slice the brown onion. Thinly slice the tomato. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar (for the onion) and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.

Step 3

While the onions caramelise, finely chop the garlic. Slice the lime (see ingredients) into wedges. In a medium bowl, combine the salt, garlic, smoked paprika, brown sugar (for the chicken), a squeeze of lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Set aside.TIP: The sugar in the marinade may darken slightly in the pan. This makes the chicken even more delicious! TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside

Step 4

Place the burger buns on a wire rack in the oven for 3 minutes, or until heated through

Step 5

Spread the burger buns with the mayonnaise and top with the Portuguese chicken, caramelised onion, mixed salad leaves and tomato. Serve with the chips on the side.
