How To Make Chicken And Halloumi Burgers
You'll just LOVE how easy our chicken halloumi burger recipe is to make!
Step One - cook the chicken burgers
- Add the chicken breast to a small mixing bowl, pour over the olive oil and sprinkle over the peri peri seasoning. You can add a pinch of salt here if you like, but we don't tend to as it's served with halloumi which is super salty!
- Then lay the peri peri chicken fillets into the air fryer basket.
- Cook the chicken on the air fry setting at 190C for around 15-20 minutes or until they're cooked through properly with a minimum internal core temperature of 75C with no pink meat or juices remaining.
Cooks Note! Smaller thinner chicken fillets may take less cooking time and larger, thicker chicken fillets may take longer. It's always best to check the cooked temperature with a food thermometer before eating.
You can also use the grill or BBQ to cook the chicken breast fillets, just turn often, and cook until they're cooked through thoroughly - when using the grill or BBQ we usually butterfly the chicken so that it cooks more quickly
Step Two - cook the halloumi
- Heat the frying pan on the hob over a high heat.
- Add the halloumi slices to the dry pan (no need to add oil) and cook until charred on one side, then flip and cook on the other. Then remove from the pan ready to build the chicken and halloumi burger.
Step Three - serve the chicken and halloumi burger
- Slice the ciabatta rolls, and spread a tablespoon of hummus onto the bottom slice of each roll.
- Then top with a handful of rocket leaves.
- Slide the peri peri chicken breast fillets on top of the rocket.
- Then add the halloumi slices and finish with a dollop of chilli jam.
- Squash the lid on and serve straight away, it's far too delicious to wait!
