Juicy Greek Chicken Burgers With Amazing Tzatziki: The Ultimate 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 40 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 4 whole wheat burger buns
– Fresh lettuce leaves, for serving
– Slices of tomato, for serving
– Feta cheese, crumbled, for topping


Instructions

Creating Juicy Greek Chicken Burgers With Amazing Tzatziki is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.

2. Mix the Chicken Burger Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined; do not overwork the mixture.

3. Form the Patties: Divide the chicken mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking.

4. Heat the Olive Oil: In a non-stick skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

5. Cook the Patties: Add the patties to the hot skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

6. Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, you can lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns in the same skillet or on a separate pan until golden brown.

7. Assemble the Burgers: Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add a cooked chicken patty, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, and generously top with the tzatziki sauce. Finish with the top half of the bun.
