Ingredients
  

MAYONNAISE

  • 1 avocado
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise whole-egg
  • sea salt flakes
  • pepper grinded

SALSA

  • 2 tomatoes vine-ripened
  • 1/2 purple onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley continental
  • 1 lemon
  • olive oil extra virgin

CHICKEN

  • 8 slices bacon
  • 600 grams chicken breast boneless, skinless
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 3 red birds eye chillis
  • 1 lemon for zest
  • 1/2 tablespoons thyme fresh

Instructions
 

Avocado Mayonnaise

  • Roughly chop the avocado and place into your food processor with the mayo, a pinch of salt and pepper and process on high until smooth.
  • Remove from the food processor, place in a bowl and cover the surface with cling wrap.

Salsa

  • Combine the tomato, onion, parsley, lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper and mix.
  • Mix in a touch of olive oil and set aside.

Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 180 (350 fahrenheit)
  • Cook the bacon in a large heavy based pan, until soft.
  • Add the onion and chilli pepper and continue to cook a couple of minutes, (do not allow onion or bacon to brown), remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • If using whole thigh meat, chop the chicken up roughly and place into your food processor and process until completely minced.
  • Place chicken, contents of pan, egg, lemon zest and thyme into food processor and process until all combined.
  • If mixture is very wet add all the bread crumbs, if only slightly wet add a little less.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper and process once again.
  • The mixture should appear slightly oily and shiny when done.
  • Wet your hands and roll small handful size balls of the mix (slightly larger for main course), then press slightly flat.
  • In a non stick fry pan add a liberal splash of olive oil and cook 1-2 minutes per side over med-high heat.
  • Once all the cakes have been seared, transfer to the oven for a few minutes while you organise the serving plates.
  • For a first course: Place a bit of colourful lettuce on the plate, then a cake, then a bit of salsa, then stack another cake on that, then finally place a little avocado mayonnaise on that.
  • For a main course: Lean a couple of cakes on one another, top with a bit of salsa and serve next to some nice grilled vegetables with the mayo on the side.
