Pig Burger

“This is a unique burger, invented in Australia. The burger consists of: Grilled chicken fillet, grilled bacon, lettuce and tomato on a toasted foccacia bun, with herbed mayo on the base and guacamole on the crown. The burger got its name due to the strange range of ingredients. They taste fantastic, however you may need a few napkins to clean up afterwards, depending on the amount of guacamole.”

Fabulous! This "burger" was definitely a nice twist on a "BLT" and took it up a notch or two, espcially with the addition of the creamy guacamole and herb mayo. This was oh so good and perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I seasoned my chicken breast with "Cajun Spice Mix", made my own herb mayo using Hellman's light mayo and mix of my own favorite herbs (just get creative and do what tastes good to you). I also used "Simply Guacamole" from this site. I can see how one can make a "Pig" of themselves because these are so good you'd be tempted to eat more than one!

Great recipe, used regular buns as I didn't have focaccia, and used the bacon sliced instead of crumbled. Had some avocado I needed to use up so this was fabulous. Thanks!

Just made this for dinner tonight. Follow the directions and it's just tasty. Took another reviewer's suggestion for herb mayo, but added mild tabasco instead of buffalo sauce. Messy. Yummy.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this recipe. My 9 year old son and I make it once or twice a month and he gets excited every time we do. We usually substitute a whole wheat kaiser bun for the focaccia to save on cost. As a dad, it's nice to have a hearty recipe that I feel good about serving. Really easy to make, too.

Man this was a BIG BURGER! It was almost inedible, we had to keep squishing ours down! But it was soooo good! I made an herb mayo as following: 1/4 C. mayo, 1 tsp. buffalo sauce, 1/2 tsp each: dried basil leaves, italian seasoning and parsley. It was perfect! I used an italian cheese/herb focaccia. I think it's better if you lightly toast the bread first because focaccia has a very chewy texture that doesn't make good sandwiches in my opinion. Instead of making guacamole, I just mashed an avacado and used that. This was really delicious, I will be making it again, but probably flattening the chicken breast before I cook it. Thanks for a great recipe!

The Pig Burger: Because you will feel like a pig after you eat it. :o Seriously, this turned into a MAMMOTH burger for me. But talk about delicious. Omg. I wasn't too sure about the herb-y mayo and the guacamole, but do it. I made Nana's Fabulous Faccacia Bread to go with this, and it was for lack of a better word - fabulous!

This was delicious, messy, but very delicious! I made my own guacamole and herb mayo (lite mayo w/ some oregano, basil, and a bit of dill.) I cut the bacon in half for small slices instead of crumbled and also used big onion poppyseed rolls. If you don't mind making a bit of mess while eating, the combination of flavors here is very good!

Great combo!! Yum! My husband couldn't stop with the compliments. Make sure you don't use chicken thats too thick, I could hardly get my mouth around this with the focaccia being so thick.

I liked this a lot, but I didn't have guacamole or all the ingredients to make it, so I just used sliced avocado and it was great. Can't wait to do it with guacamole...
