Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato into fries and place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes.
While the fries are baking, thinly slice the red onion. Thinly slice the tomato into rounds. Slice the lemon into wedges. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the balsamic vinegar, water and brown sugar (for the onion) and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
While the onion is cooking, finely chop the garlic. In a medium bowl, combine the salt, garlic, smoked paprika, brown sugar (for the chicken), a small squeeze of lemon juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and use a sharp knife to slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks. Add the chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Set aside.
Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken until lightly browned and cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side (depending on size). Transfer to a plate to rest. TIP: The sugar in the marinade may caramelise slightly in the pan - this adds to the flavour! TIP: The chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
Place the butter burger buns directly on a wire rack in the oven and bake until heated through, 3 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the smokey aioli with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Slice the burger buns in half. Spread the base of the buns with the lemon aioli and top with mixed salad leaves, Portuguese chicken, tomato and some caramelised onion. Serve with the fries and any remaining lemon wedges.
