Delicious Mediterranean Greek Chicken Burgers infused with fresh herbs and creamy feta cheese, perfect for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped (optional)
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for binding)
- Olive oil, for cooking
- Burger toppings: sliced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, tzatziki sauce, or pita bread
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, feta, parsley, mint, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape mixture into 4–6 evenly sized patties. Avoid overworking to keep burgers tender.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat (or preheat a grill). Cook patties 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Serve on buns or pita with your choice of toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Notes
- Extra juicy: Mix in a tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt into the patty mixture
- Spicy kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes
- Cheese swap: Use goat cheese or halloumi for a twist
