Loading...Tandoori Chicken Burger
This visually appealing burger was devised especially to go with our beetroot brioche buns. He we have a tender chicken breast marinated in a tandoori spice mix.
The burger is grilled in a griddle pan then added to the buns topped with an onion and coriander salad. The sauce is made from Mayo with mango chutney and a bit of chilly and brings everything together.
This is a very simple dish where you can prepare everything in advance and just grill the chicken before serving.
