Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup sliced cucumber
- 4 pieces tomato slices
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, diced red onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs.
Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or on the grill, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked chicken patty, sliced cucumber, and a tomato slice. Top with more tzatziki sauce and the top bun.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as Greek salad or roasted potatoes.
