Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Peel, then cut onion into ½-inch rounds (keeping rings together).
  • Add onions to a plate. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top, then season with salt and pepper. 
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Halve buns. Brush 1/2 tsp oil onto cut side of each half. 
  • Combine half the mayo, half the lime zest and half the chipotle powder. (TIP: Use less chipotle if you want a milder sauce!)
Make slaw
2
  • Combine lime juice, remaining lime zest, remaining mayo and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar large bowl. 
  • Add cabbage, carrots, feta and half the cilantro. 
  • Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Season chicken
3
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels.
  • Using a mallet or heavy-bottomed pan, carefully pound each chicken breast until 1/2-inch thick.
  • Season with Mexican Seasoning and remaining chipotle powder. (TIP: Omit chipotle powder if you prefer milder chicken!)
  • Add chicken to a plate. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil over top, then toss to coat. 
Grill chicken
4
  • Assemble buns, onions, chicken, a clean plate for cooked chicken, foil and any tools on a large platter. Head out to grill!
  • Add chicken to one side of grill. Close lid and grill, flipping once, until chicken is cooked through, 6-8 min per side.**
  • Transfer cooked chicken to the clean plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Grill onions and buns
5
  • Meanwhile, add onions to other side of grill. Close lid and grill, flipping once, until tender, 5-7 min per side.
  • Return to the same plate.
  • When chicken and onions are done, add buns to the grill, cut-sides down. Close lid and grill buns until toasted, 1-2 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on buns so they don't burn!)
Finish and serve
6
  • Thinly slice chicken.
  • Separate onion rings.
  • Spread chipotle mayo onto top and bottom buns. 
  • Stack chicken, onions and some slaw onto bottom buns. Close with top buns.
