Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for grilling
For Serving
- Whole wheat buns
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, making sure they hold together well for grilling.
- Preheat Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or a skillet over medium heat and brush the cooking surface lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the burgers are fully cooked through and develop a golden brown crust.
- Assemble Burgers: Serve each cooked chicken burger on a whole wheat bun topped with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce for a refreshing finish.
Notes
- Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken patties reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- Use fresh oregano if available for a more vibrant flavor.
- To keep patties moist, do not overmix the chicken mixture.
- These burgers can also be cooked on an indoor grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
- Customize toppings with lettuce, tomato, or cucumber slices for extra texture and taste.
