Juicy ground chicken blended with fresh herbs and creamy feta for a lighter take on the classic burger, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken (preferably thigh or a mix for juiciness)
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano or 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 small shallot, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs or panko
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for cooking
  • Optional: tzatziki or plain yogurt, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and toasted buns or lettuce leaves for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, parsley, oregano, shallot, garlic, egg, feta, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into four even patties, about 3/4-inch thick, pressing a small shallow well into the center of each patty.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add two patties and cook for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) at the thickest point.
  4. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and cook the second batch the same way.
  5. Serve warm on toasted buns with tzatziki, tomato, and sliced onion, or on lettuce leaves.

Notes

Patties can be prepared ahead of time and chilled or frozen for later. To freeze, flash-freeze on a tray, then bag for up to 3 months.
