Good to know

Chef's tip

For even crispier bread, put the ciabatta halves in the air fryer at 180°C for a few minutes before assembling the burger. It adds an irresistible texture.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Cooked chicken on its own can be frozen for 2-3 months in a zip bag. Do not freeze the assembled burger (bread, vegetables, sauce).

Storage : How long does it keep?

Once assembled, the burger gets soggy. Prepare separately the chicken (3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge) and sauces (3 days max in the fridge). Add raw veggies/fresh bread just before serving.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Prepare the cooked chicken fillets, the sauce and the cut vegetables (separately). Cooked chicken keeps 2-3 days in the fridge. Assemble just before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Chicken: Oven 10-12 min at 160°C or air fryer 5-7 min at 160°C to keep it crispy. Microwave is possible but dries it out. Bread: Toaster or oven 2-3 min to brown.

Variations

Add a layer of mustard on the bottom bun if you like.
Place a slice of cheese and a spoonful of sauce on the chicken.
Serve hot right after assembling.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting to flip the chicken halfway through: it would cook unevenly.
Serving an undercooked fillet: allow 18 to 20 minutes at 190°C.
Spreading too much mayonnaise: a thin layer is enough.

Frequently asked questions

How long do you cook chicken in the air fryer?

Season the fillet with salt and pepper and coat with oil, then cook it for 18 to 20 minutes at 190°C in the preheated air fryer, flipping it halfway through for even cooking and a nicely golden crust.

How do you assemble the burger?

Cut the ciabatta in half, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the bottom, add lettuce, cucumber and tomato, then top with the chicken, the slice of cheese and another spoonful of sauce.

What bread should you choose for this burger?

The ciabatta used here has a slightly crispy crust and an airy crumb that holds the toppings well. Cut it in half before spreading the mayonnaise on the bottom.

Can you make several burgers at once?

The recipe is sized for 1 burger with 1 chicken fillet. To make several, multiply the quantities and cook the fillets in a single layer in the basket, without stacking them.
