Ingredients

• 1 pound ground chicken
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup sliced cucumber
• 4 pieces tomato slices
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, diced red onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands or a spoon until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.

Step 3

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Lightly toast the burger buns in the same skillet or on the grill, if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by spreading a layer of tzatziki sauce on the bottom bun. Add a lettuce leaf, a cooked chicken patty, sliced cucumber, and a tomato slice. Top with more tzatziki sauce and the top bun.

Step 8

Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as Greek salad or roasted potatoes.
