Directions

  1. 1

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten them to 0.4 inches thick. Cut each breast in half.

  2. 2

    STOVETOP: Heat two skillets over medium-high heat, add oil to one. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side. Season, reduce heat, add the hot sauce and half of the lemon juice. Cook for 1-2 minutes. AIR-FRYER: Preheat to 355°F (4 min), cook the chicken for 12 minutes, add the hot sauce and lemon juice, cook for 1-2 additional minutes.

  3. 3

    Toast the buns in a dry skillet for 30 seconds, or in the air-fryer at 390°F for 1-2 minutes.

  4. 4

    If using an air-fryer: increase the temperature to 390°F, add the halloumi and cook for 10 minutes, turning halfway through until golden.

  5. 5

    Mix the finely shredded cabbage with the mayonnaise and the remaining lemon juice. Set aside.

  6. 6

    Assemble the burgers: spread the buns with sour cream, add the lettuce, spicy chicken, golden halloumi, and red bell pepper slices. Top with the cabbage mixture and black pepper. Serve hot with a side of green salad.

💡 Chef's Tip

Prepare all ingredients in advance for express assembly. The air-fryer provides faster and crispier results. Feel free to add more hot sauce according to your preference.
