Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even tastier burger 🌶️, you can marinate the chicken in a mix of yogurt, garlic and spices (paprika, herbes de Provence) for 15 minutes before cooking. This will make the chicken even more tender and flavorful! 😋

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

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

Storage : How long does it keep?

Once assembled, the burger gets soggy. Prepare the chicken (3 days max in an airtight container in the fridge) and sauces (3 days max in the fridge) separately. Add raw vegetables/fresh bread right 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 right 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 possible but dries it out. Bread: Toaster or oven 2-3 min to toast.

Variations

Bread the chicken for a crispy burger.
Grill the chicken on the barbecue.
Serve with crispy fries.

Mistakes to avoid

Not cooking the chicken through: allow 7 minutes per side over medium heat.
Using too much sauce: spread a thin layer of mayonnaise.
Forgetting to season: salt and pepper the fillet before cooking.
