Ingredients:
For the chicken burgers:
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For serving:
- 4 burger buns or lettuce wraps
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- Sliced cucumber
- Sliced tomato
- Red onion slices
- Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the grill: Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or pan.
- Prepare the burger mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, parsley, dill, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cook the burgers: Place the chicken patties on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are fully cooked through.
- Assemble the burgers: Toast the burger buns if desired. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun, then add the cooked chicken patty. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, and extra feta if you like. Finish with more tzatziki and the top bun.
- Serve: Serve the Greek Chicken Burgers hot, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side if desired.
