Oat Crusted Chicken Burgers

Succulent pieces of chicken breasts coated in oats, garlic and smoked paprika and then gently baked in the oven. Served in a light brioche bun with lettuce, cucumber, tomato and red onion then drizzled with a low fat slightly spicy dressing.

If you prefer you can leave out the brioche bun and serve with extra green salad, or serve with healthy fries cooked in the oven with low-calorie spray.
