Ingredients
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 50 grams bread crumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dill, chopped
- 0.25 cup cucumber, finely grated
- 1 clove garlic (for dressing), minced
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for dressing)
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves

- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into burger patties about 1.5 cm thick.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the yogurt dressing. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, grated cucumber (squeeze out excess moisture), minced garlic, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
Lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun. Add a cooked chicken patty on top, followed by tomato slices, red onion, and a generous dollop of the yogurt dressing.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately. Enjoy your Lemon Chicken Burgers with Yogurt Dressing!
