Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground chicken
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Butter lettuce (for serving)
- Tzatziki sauce
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Sliced onion
- Sliced tomato
- Sliced avocado
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken with the diced red onion, minced garlic, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped baby spinach, chopped fresh dill, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
- Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a ¾-inch thick patty.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties carefully and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (165°F).
- Remove the patties and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve each burger in a butter lettuce leaf, topped with tzatziki, crumbled feta, and desired toppings.
Notes
For added moisture, mix in a tablespoon of plain yogurt or a splash of low-sodium chicken broth. Make sure not to overwork the chicken mixture to keep the patties tender.
