Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pita breads or burger buns
- Toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, tzatziki sauce
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta, spinach, red onion, garlic, fresh dill, fresh oregano, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty slightly wider than your pita or bun. Press a shallow indentation into the center of each patty.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken patties and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Transfer the burgers to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes so the juices can redistribute.
- Warm the pita breads or burger buns. Place one burger in each and top with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and tzatziki sauce. Serve immediately.
Notes
Grilling: Cook the patties over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side, oiling the grates well so they do not stick.
Meal prep: Cooked patties keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat.
Serving: Add a simple salad or roasted potatoes on the side to round out the meal.
