Ingredients

Chicken Burgers:

Tzatziki (optional):

To Serve (optional):

Instructions

  1. Begin by making the tzatziki sauce. Using a box grater on a cutting board or a food processor with the shredding blade, grate the cucumber into small pieces. Then transfer the grated cucumber to a fine mesh sieve, tea towel, or double-lined paper towels, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and press out as much water as possible.
  2. In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, grated garlic, chopped herbs, and salt and stir until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Next, make the burger patties. In a large bowl, add the ground chicken, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, then using your hands, mix the ingredients until well incorporated.
  4. Once mixed, divide and shape the chicken burger mix into 4 evenly sized burger patties.
  5. Heat a grill, cast-iron skillet, or large frying pan to medium-high heat, add a bit of oil, then add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165ºF.
  6. If you’d like to grill the burger buns, add them to the grill or pan at this time, open side down, and toast for 15-30 seconds until golden brown.
  7. Once the burgers are cooked, remove them from the grill and assemble them on buns with tzatziki sauce and additional toppings of your choice.
  8. Any leftover chicken burgers can be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freezer for up to 3 months. Any leftover tzatziki sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
