Description
Delicious Greek Chicken Burgers topped with refreshing Tzatziki Sauce, perfect for a healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cucumber, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, parsley, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, but do not overwork the meat.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1 inch thick.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While the burgers are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Toast the whole wheat burger buns if desired. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce and a handful of baby spinach or mixed greens.
Notes
- For added flavor, mix in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives into the chicken mixture.
- Serve the burgers with a side of sweet potato fries or a Greek salad for a complete meal.
