# How To Make It:
01 - Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
02 - Combine ground chicken, red onion, garlic, feta, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently until just incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
03 - Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into uniform patties approximately 1 inch thick.
04 - Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Lightly toast the burger buns or pita breads until golden and slightly crisp.
06 - Layer lettuce on the bun base, add a cooked chicken patty, spoon generous tzatziki over the top, and finish with tomato and onion slices. Crown with the top bun and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The feta inside the patties creates these incredible salty pockets of flavor throughout every bite
- Homemade tzatziki takes about 5 minutes but tastes like something from a proper Greek taverna
- These burgers manage to feel light and fresh while still being completely satisfying
02 -
- Squeezing every last drop of water out of your grated cucumber is the difference between creamy tzatziki and watery disappointment
- Letting the formed patties chill in the fridge for 30 minutes helps them hold together better if you have the time
- Ground chicken can stick to pans more than beef so make sure your cooking surface is well oiled and hot
03 -
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking since chicken burgers can dry out quickly
- Wring out your grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel for the driest possible result
