CHICKEN AND CHICKPEA PATTIES WITH A TZATZIKI DIP

The addition of chickpeas adds a new twist to the traditional chicken burger. These mini versions are easy to make. Serve them as snacks with carrot and celery sticks or make a substantial lunch by popping a few patties into a pita pocket with some salad leaves and a couple of tablespoons of tzatziki dip.

Pinch of salt and pepper

1/2 tbsp olive oil
