Preparation
Mise en place
Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first. Halve the cucumber lengthwise; thinly slice. Halve, core and thinly slice the apple.
Grill the chicken
Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with the spices and S&P. Add to the BBQ (or to a grill pan heated with a drizzle of oil on medium-high, partially covered) and grill, 4 to 6 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and reserve the grill pan, if using.
Make the slaw
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the vinegar, 2 tbsp oil and S&P. Add the cabbage, apple and cucumber; toss well.
Grill the buns
Add the buns, cut-sides down, to the BBQ (or to the reserved grill pan heated with a drizzle of oil on medium-high) and grill, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
Plate your dish
Divide the bun bottoms between your plates. Top each bun bottom with the tzatziki, chicken, a spoonful of the slaw and a bun top. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
