Description
Delicious Greek chicken burgers topped with refreshing tzatziki and fresh veggies, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Chicken (93% lean)
- 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (or goat cheese, or omit for dairy-free)
- 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 (for binding)
- 1 cup Tzatziki Sauce (fresh or store-bought)
- 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers)
- 4 pieces Buns or Pita (whole grain or gluten-free)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley (or dill), oregano, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, and egg. Mix well until combined but be careful not to overwork the meat.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat, oiling the grates if grilling or adding olive oil for skillet cooking.
- Cook the patties for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and golden-brown.
- Let the burgers rest for a couple of minutes. Serve them on buns or pitas, topped with tzatziki sauce and fresh veggies.
Notes
To reheat, microwave or place in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
