Calories: 272kcal
Equipment
- Electric Griddle or cast iron pan
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Ground Chicken
- ¼ cup Feta crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt and Pepper
- ½ cup Tzatziki see above for my link to my homemade version!
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, feta cheese, dried spices, and rake together to form a meat mixture.
- Take 1-2 scoops of the ground chicken mixture and roll into a ball, then flatten into circles/patties with your hands. Lay flat on a plate and repeat until all the ground chicken is used.
- Add the chicken burger to a large skillet, cast iron pan, or directly onto a grill and cook for a few minutes (4-5 minutes). Flip.
- Continue to grill or cook the chicken burgers until the internal temperature reads 160º. Serve as desired.
Notes
Do Not Over-Mix the Meat: Rake the ground chicken together with the spices and feta using your four fingers, minus the thumb. This method helps to keep the meat nice and tender, and lessens the risk of over mixing which will cause the burgers to become chewy.
Use a Meat Thermometer - I cannot recommend this enough, once I started using a meat thermometer, my grilled meats, especially burgers, consistently taste exactly as they should and come out cooked to a perfect temperature.
