Ingredients
1 lb ground chicken
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for grilling
Whole wheat buns for serving
Tzatziki sauce for serving
Instructions
-
In a bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, red onion, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
-
Mix until all ingredients are well combined, then form the mixture into 4 patties.
-
Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat and brush with olive oil to prevent sticking.
-
Cook the chicken patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown.
-
Serve the burgers on whole wheat buns with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Notes
-
For added veggies, mix in finely chopped spinach or zucchini to the chicken mixture for moisture.
-
Spicy Twist: Add chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes for heat.
-
Low-Carb Option: Serve in lettuce wraps instead of buns for a low-carb meal.
-
Cheese Lovers: Add extra feta inside the patty or on top for a cheesier burger.
