Portuguese Chicken Burgers are a popular fast food choice, but the takeout options aren’t exactly the most nutritious. My healthier version, made with crispy crumbed chicken and fresh ingredients at home, is easy to make and tastes even better. What’s more, it’s ready in less than 20 minutes! Crumbing the chicken is the part that takes the longest, but that can be done in advance so all you have to do when you want to eat, is cook the chicken and assemble the burgers. Top with mayonnaise, lettuce and cheese, or substitute with your preferred toppings. Finish with chilli oil if you want to add a little heat! I love this recipe so much that I included it in my new cookbook Simple Dinners Every Day.

If you haven’t made these you absolutely need to try! These are made almost weekly in my house and are absolutely delicious! I call them our fakeaway and make with a brioche bun to make a little fancy. My kids absolutely love them too (I just leave the chilli off for them) but they are absolutely amazing!!

These were so so good! My family asked when I am making them again! Yay!

This is such a great chicken burger especially on a busy night. I sometimes serve on a Turkish roll, or brioche bun. It’s a family favourite!
