Notes
- You could make a low carb version of these by skipping the bun and using a giant lettuce leaf to hold the burger and toppings together.
- You can get an even crispier burger, and still bake it, by using Panko breadcrumbs.
- Swap chicken breast for boneless and skinless chicken thighs for an even juicier burger.
- Make sure you pound the chicken first, as this tenderises it and ensures that it cooks evenly.
- If you want a more indulgent burger sauce, then you can swap the Greek yogurt for mayo.
