Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, diced red onion, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until everything is evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a burger patty, about 1 cm thick.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat.
Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F).
While the patties cook, toast the burger buns lightly in a toaster or on the grill until warm and slightly crispy.
Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom half of each bun.
Place the cooked chicken patty on top of the tzatziki spread.
Top each patty with sliced cucumber, sliced tomato, and a lettuce leaf.
Finish by placing the top half of the bun over the assembled burger.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Chicken Burgers!
