🍔 Chicken burger
A chicken burger is a grilled chicken breast fillet served in a soft bun with crisp lettuce, sliced tomato and a spread of mayonnaise. The chicken is juicy with light char from the grill, the vegetables add freshness and the mayonnaise brings creaminess. It is eaten by hand as a quick lunch, often with fries or salad.
