How to Make Greek Chicken Burgers
In a bowl, mix ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, parsley, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Combine gently without overmixing.
Form into burger patties.
Heat olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown.
How to Make Tzatziki Sauce
Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Assemble the Burgers
Toast buns lightly if desired. Add chicken patty, top with tzatziki sauce, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Close and serve.
How to Serve
Serve with sweet potato fries, salad, or roasted vegetables. You can also serve it bun-less in a bowl for a low-carb option.
Tips for Best Results
Don’t overmix the chicken to keep patties juicy. Chill patties for 10 minutes before cooking for better shape. Use fresh herbs for stronger flavor. Drain cucumber well for thick tzatziki.
Variations
Make it low-carb with lettuce wraps. Add feta cheese for extra richness. Grill instead of pan-cooking for smoky flavor. Add olives or spinach for more Mediterranean taste.
Storage and Meal Prep
Store cooked patties in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze uncooked patties for later use. Keep tzatziki separate for freshness.
Final Thoughts
Greek Chicken Burgers are a fresh, juicy, and flavorful twist on traditional burgers. With Mediterranean herbs and creamy tzatziki, they’re a healthy and delicious meal you’ll want to make again and again.
