Steps

1

Patties and Sauce

Mince the chicken breast fillet or chop it into very small cubes. Mix it with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Form into 4 equal patties. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and honey for the sauce.

2

Prepare Vegetables

Wash the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato and red onion into thin rounds.

3

Cook and Toast

Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. In the last minute, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each patty and let it melt. Remove the patties and, in the same skillet, toast the cut sides of the burger buns for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

4

Assemble Burgers

Spread both halves of the toasted buns with the homemade sauce. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, then the cheesy chicken patty. Top with tomato and onion slices, then cover with the top bun. Serve immediately!

Extra Tips

You can also season the chicken patties with finely chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for an even more intense flavor.

If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken patties or the sauce.

Toast the buns in the pan or a toaster to make them crispier and prevent them from getting soggy from the sauce.
