Portuguese chicken burgers are a popular fast food choice, but they aren’t exactly the most nutritious meal. My version, made with crispy breaded chicken and fresh ingredients, is easy to make and tastes even better. What’s more, it’s ready in less than 20 minutes! Breading 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!
Chicken – Refrigerate uncooked chicken schnitzels for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw completely in the fridge overnight and then cook as per the recipe.
Lettuce – Wash, dry and shred the lettuce so it’s ready for when you need it. Store in a reusable sandwich bag or air-tight container with a sheet of paper towel to absorb excess moisture. It will keep fresh for up to 3 days.
Refrigerate cooked chicken schnitzels for up to 2 days. Not suitable to freeze.
