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 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Other
- 4 hamburger buns
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, tzatziki sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix all ingredients together until well combined to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties, making sure they are compact so they hold together well during cooking.
- Grill the Patties: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Place the chicken patties on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are cooked through with a golden exterior.
- Toast the Buns: While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill for a few minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each cooked patty on the bottom half of the toasted buns and add your choice of toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
- Serve and Enjoy: Top with the other half of the bun and serve the burgers hot for a delicious Mediterranean-inspired meal.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the patties for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F to avoid foodborne illness.
- Tzatziki sauce can be store-bought or homemade for authentic taste.
- Optional toppings like sliced olives or fresh herbs can enhance the Greek flavor.
- These burgers can also be cooked on a stovetop grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
