Method

Prep 15 min · cook 25 min
  1. Pound the chicken to an even 6 mm, cut into 4 muffin-sized pieces and marinate in the vinegar, water (or 120 ml dill-pickle brine), onion and garlic powder, lemon juice and oil for 2–8 hours in the fridge.
  2. Heat the oven to 175 °C and oil a 20 cm square dish. Beat the egg whites with the salt, pour into the dish and bake for 20–22 minutes until set; cool 5 minutes and cut into 4.
  3. Grill the chicken on a hot grill pan for 3–4 minutes a side, until it reaches 74 °C inside.
  4. Toast the muffins and stack each with egg white, chicken and a slice of cheddar.
  5. Keeps 4 days in the fridge, components separate. Reheat chicken and egg together for 60–90 seconds, then build on a fresh-toasted muffin.
