# Directions:
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 combined—avoid overworking the meat.
03 - Shape the chicken mixture into 4 equal patties, pressing lightly to maintain tenderness.
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 cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Lightly toast burger buns or pita breads until golden and crisp.
06 - Layer lettuce on the bun base, add a chicken patty, spoon generous tzatziki over top, and finish with tomato and onion slices. Cover with the top bun.
07 - Serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The feta inside creates these incredible salty bursts that make every bite interesting
- Homemade tzatziki transforms everything it touches and comes together in minutes
02 -
- Squeezing every last drop of water from the grated cucumber is the difference between creamy tzatziki and watery disappointment
- Letting the chicken mixture rest in the refrigerator for thirty minutes before shaping helps the patties hold together beautifully
03 -
- Ground chicken breast can be dry so ask your butcher for a mix of white and dark meat
- Brush the patties with olive oil while grilling to keep them incredibly moist
