Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Cucumber, diced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Toast the whole wheat burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of the yogurt sauce on the bottom buns, then place a grilled chicken breast on each.
Top the chicken with red onion slices, tomato slices, romaine lettuce leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.
Finish with the top bun and serve the burgers immediately with any remaining yogurt sauce on the side.
