Ingredients (for 2 persons):
- 2 chicken fillets (approx. 150g each)
- 1 egg
- 50 g breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 burger buns
- 2 lettuce leaves
- 2 slices of tomato
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- Mayonnaise and ketchup (optional)
Preparation method:
1. Preparing chicken fillets:
- Cut the chicken fillets in half so that you get four thin pieces.
- Beat the egg in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with paprika powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- First dip the chicken fillets in the egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture, so that the chicken is well coated.
2. Airfryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C.
- Carefully place the breaded chicken fillets in the airfryer and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Turn halfway through for even cooking.
3. Toasting sandwiches:
- Cut the burger buns in half and toast them briefly in the air fryer for a nice crispy result.
4. Assemble the burger:
- Top the bottom half of the bun with a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato and a slice of cheddar cheese.
- Place the crispy chicken fillets on top and add mayonnaise or ketchup to taste if desired.
- Finish with the top of the bun.
Serving suggestion:
Serve the chicken burger with a fresh salad or finish it off with a portion of airfryer fries for a complete meal. Add extra toppings such as onion rings, avocado or pickles for an extra flavor boost!
