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
For Cooking
- Olive oil for grilling
For Serving
- Whole wheat buns
- Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, making sure they are compact but not overly dense to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Grill or Skillet: Heat a grill or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent the patties from sticking during cooking.
- Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until they are fully cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and have a golden brown crust.
- Assemble Burgers: Serve the cooked chicken patties on whole wheat buns, adding a generous dollop of creamy tzatziki sauce for authentic Greek flavor. Optionally add lettuce, tomato, or cucumber slices for extra freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to check the internal temperature of the chicken patties with a meat thermometer to ensure they are fully cooked.
- Feta cheese adds saltiness, so adjust added salt accordingly to taste.
- You can prepare the patties ahead and refrigerate for up to a day before cooking.
- To keep the patties moist, avoid pressing down on them while cooking.
- Tzatziki sauce complements the flavors but can be substituted with your favorite yogurt-based sauce.
