Ingredients

4
skinless chicken breasts, roughly chopped
1 Tbsp.
wholegrain mustard
1½ tbsp runny honey
75 g
(3oz) fresh white breadcrumbs
1
medium egg
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 Tbsp.
olive oil to serve
3 Tbsp.
mayonnaise
3 Tbsp.
half-fat crème fraîche
½ tbsp lemon juice
½ tbsp wholegrain mustard
4
floury white baps
Gem lettuce leaves, optional
Tomato slices, optional

Directions

1. Step 1
  To make the burgers, whiz the chicken in a food processor until it resembles mince, then empty into a large bowl and mix in the mustard, 1tbsp of the honey, the breadcrumbs, egg, lemon zest and plenty of seasoning.
2. Step 2
  Divide mixture equally into four and shape each portion into a flattened patty. Arrange on a plate, then cover and chill for 30min, if you have time.
3. Step 3
  Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high hob heat and brown burgers for 5min, turning occasionally. Transfer to a baking sheet, brush the tops of the burgers with the remaining honey and cook in oven for a further 10-12min or until cooked through.
4. Step 4
  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, lemon juice, mustard and some seasoning. Set aside. Halve and toast the baps.
5. Step 5
  Serve the burgers in the toasted baps, topped with lettuce and tomato slices, if you like, with a dollop of mustard sauce.
