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
Bread & Toppings
- 4 hamburger buns
- Toppings of your choice (lettuce, tomato, cucumber, tzatziki sauce)
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Form Patties: Divide the mixture evenly and shape into 4 uniform patties, about 1/2 inch thick, making sure they hold together firmly to prevent falling apart during cooking.
- Preheat Grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Ensure the surface is hot before placing the patties for even searing and cooking.
- Cook Patties: Place the patties on the grill and cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side. Flip carefully once the first side is browned. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) ensuring they are cooked through and juicy.
- Toast Buns: While the patties finish cooking, toast the hamburger buns on the grill for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and slightly crispy.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each cooked patty on a toasted bun and add your favorite toppings such as fresh lettuce, tomato slices, cucumber, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce to complement the Greek flavors.
- Serve: Serve the burgers immediately while hot to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to avoid any foodborne illness.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like chopped parsley or dill for extra flavor.
- Use whole wheat buns for a healthier option.
- Tzatziki sauce can be made ahead or store-bought for convenience.
- These burgers can also be cooked on a stovetop grill pan if an outdoor grill is unavailable.
