Description
Elevate your burger game with these juicy Greek chicken burgers infused with Mediterranean spices, feta cheese, and tzatziki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¾ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 whole wheat burger buns
- 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
- Sliced cucumber, for garnish
- Sliced red onion, for garnish
- Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Start by combining the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands to gently mix the ingredients until well combined; be careful not to overmix or your burgers will be tough.
- Once your mixture is ready, divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, making them about ¾ to 1 inch thick.
- Heat up a skillet or grill over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties on the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While your burgers are cooking, you can toast the whole wheat buns in a toaster oven or on a separate skillet until they’re golden brown.
- Once everything is cooked and ready, assemble your burgers by placing a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun. Top with fresh spinach or arugula, cucumber slices, and red onion. Finally, generously drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top and place the other half of the bun on top.
Notes
For added flavor, feel free to include diced red bell pepper or chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
