Method

1. Heat a frying pan or BBQ grill to medium heat and add 1 Tbsp oil. Season chicken breasts and place in frying pan or BBQ grill. Cook chicken breasts, turning them for 6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Set chicken aside to rest.
2. Place canned kernels in a large bowl. Add jalapenos, diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, coriander, mint, peach or nectarine, lime juice, remaining olive oil and salt to taste. Stir well to combine and set aside.
3. Assemble burgers by topping bottom of each toasted hamburger bun with a lettuce leaf, then place a piece of chicken, a slice of tomato, some corn salsa and the top of the bun.
TIP: Used tinned peaches or nectarines if fresh aren't availble.
