Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 4 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Toast the whole wheat burger buns if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers: Spread a layer of the yogurt sauce on the bottom buns, then place a grilled chicken breast on each.

Step 8

Top the chicken with red onion slices, tomato slices, romaine lettuce leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.

Step 9

Finish with the top bun and serve the burgers immediately with any remaining yogurt sauce on the side.
