Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Burgers
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken (93% lean)
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (substitute with goat cheese or omit for dairy-free)
  • 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (or dill)
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano (or fresh if you have it)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional for heat)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 large Egg (for binding)
For Assembly
  • 1 cup Tzatziki Sauce (fresh or store-bought)
  • 2 cups Fresh Vegetables (lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers)
  • 4 pieces Buns or Pita (opt for whole grain or gluten-free)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, gently combine the ground chicken, feta, onion, garlic, parsley (or dill), oregano, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, lemon juice, breadcrumbs, and egg. Be careful not to over-mix; you want those burgers to stay tender!
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 1 inch thick.
  3. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Tzatziki Preparation
  1. If you're making fresh tzatziki, mix together yogurt, minced cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and herbs in a bowl.
Assembly
  1. Assemble your burger by spreading tzatziki on your bun or pita. Layer with the chicken patty and top with your choice of fresh veggies.
  2. Cut, serve, and brace yourself for the compliments!

Notes

To keep your leftovers fresh and tasty: Refrigerate uneaten burgers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze uncooked patties wrapped tightly for up to 3 months.
