Posh chicken burger
This open chicken burger on ciabatta is such a lovely change from the usual bun‑and‑burger combo. Tender, well‑seasoned chicken sits on toasted ciabatta with sweet chilli mayo, making it a fresh, satisfying meal that still feels wonderfully comforting.
If you fancy something a little lighter but still full of flavour, this is ideal — the rustic toasted ciabatta keeps it feeling vibrant, the chicken stays juicy, and you can pile on as many toppings as you like.
What goes well alongside these burgers?
This is a perfect meal for summer, especially when served with chips, a simple salad and a spoonful of coleslaw.
