15-minute chicken & halloumi burgers
These chicken and halloumi burgers come together quickly, making for a satisfying meal. Chicken breasts are pounded thin and cooked with hot sauce and lemon, while halloumi gets golden in the air fryer or a pan. The buns are toasted and layered with hummus, crisp lettuce, the spiced chicken, and grilled halloumi. A bright cabbage slaw, dressed with mayonnaise and lemon, adds a fresh counterpoint to the rich fillings.

Flatten Chicken Breasts
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of baking parchment. Use a rolling pin to gently bash them until they are approximately 1cm thick. Once flattened, cut each chicken breast into two even pieces. - 02
Pan-Fry Chicken
If you're using a frying pan, heat two pans over medium-high heat. Add the oil to one of them. Fry the chicken in the oiled pan for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are cooked through.
Season the chicken, then reduce the heat. Drizzle in the chilli sauce and half of the lemon juice, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce has reduced and coats the chicken. Remove the chicken from the heat.
