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 and Serving
- Olive oil for grilling or skillet
- Whole wheat buns for serving
- Tzatziki sauce for serving
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, ensuring they are compact enough to hold together during cooking.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Preheat a grill or skillet to medium heat. Brush the surface with olive oil to prevent the patties from sticking.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the patties develop a golden brown crust.
- Assemble Burgers: Serve each patty on a whole wheat bun and add a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Optionally, add fresh vegetables such as lettuce or tomato for extra freshness.
Notes
- Ensure ground chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
- You can substitute the whole wheat buns with lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.
- Tzatziki sauce can be homemade or store-bought depending on preference and convenience.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the patty mixture.
