Print Recipe

Delicious chicken burgers infused with Mediterranean flavors and topped with creamy tzatziki.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken (93% lean)
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
  • 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (or dill)
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 cup Tzatziki Sauce
  • 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers)
  • 4 pieces Buns or Pita (whole grain or gluten-free)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, and the egg. Use your hands to gently combine everything until just mixed.
  2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty about 3/4 inch thick.
  3. Chill in the Fridge: Place the patties on a plate and cover them with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat with a light drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Cook the Patties: Remove the patties from the fridge and carefully place them on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Warm the Buns: Toast the buns or pita on the grill for the last minute or so of cooking.
  7. Assemble the Burgers: Spread tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun or pita, add a chicken patty, pile on fresh veggies, and top with more tzatziki.

Notes

These burgers can be made in advance and stored in the fridge or freezer for later use.
