Ingredients
4 burgers

500g free-range chicken breast (two chicken breasts) or chicken mince
1 Tbs capers
1 Tbs chopped black olives
1 brown onion, grated
2 Tbs minced sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped parsley and basil leaves
1 egg

light olive oil for frying
1 teaspoon salt

2 ripe tomatoes, sliced
1 cup salsa verde
4 lettuce leaves

Mix all the ingredients for the chicken patties in a mixing bowl. Using a wet hands form the patties and place them onto a wet choping board. - Preheat the frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties for a few minutes each side, until golden brown. Then place to a baking tray and transfer to a preheated oven for 7 minutes.
