Why this works

High in protein and energy, but also fairly high in fat and sodium due to the cheese, mayonnaise and burger sauce.

High-quality protein. Chicken breast and cheese provide a substantial protein hit, supporting muscle maintenance and satiety.

Micronutrients from veg. Coleslaw, onion and salad leaves add vitamin C, folate and small amounts of potassium and vitamin K.

Sodium and saturated fat to watch. Processed sauces, cheese and mayonnaise push up sodium and saturated fat, which may be less suitable for frequent intake.

Method

Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and nicely browned.
Season the chicken lightly if desired, then top each piece with the cheese and cover the pan for 1-2 minutes so it melts.
Meanwhile, warm the coleslaw gently if you like it less chilly, or keep it cold for extra crunch. Slice the onion finely.
Mix the burger sauce, mayonnaise and ketchup together in a small bowl to make a creamy burger dressing.
Build each burger by layering mixed salad leaves, the chicken with melted cheese, coleslaw and sliced onion. Spoon over the burger dressing and serve straight away.
