Juicy Greek-inspired chicken burgers packed with herbs and topped with a refreshing homemade tzatziki sauce, served with crisp vegetables in soft buns.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 grams ground chicken
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 1 medium cucumber, grated
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 4 burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat a nonstick pan or grill over medium heat and lightly coat with olive oil.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until just mixed.
- Ensure the cooking surface is properly heated to prevent sticking.
- Shape the mixture into 4 evenly sized patties.
- Cook patties for 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- In a separate bowl, mix plain yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and chopped dill to make the tzatziki sauce.
- Assemble burgers by placing patties in buns and topping with lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- Squeeze excess water from the cucumber before mixing into the sauce.
- Do not overmix the chicken mixture to keep patties tender.
- Lightly toast the buns for better texture.
- Patties can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator before cooking.
