Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
To Serve
- Burger buns
- Tzatziki sauce
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, red onions
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken mixture: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped green onions, thawed and well-drained spinach, ground chicken, dried oregano, dried basil, crumbled feta cheese, coarse sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
- Form the patties: Shape the chicken mixture into burger patties of your desired size, making sure they are compact enough to hold together during cooking.
- Grill the burgers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or brush the patties with coconut oil. Cook the patties on the grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are fully cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Serve: Place the cooked Greek Chicken Burgers on buns and top with tzatziki sauce and your choice of additional toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, and red onions. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- You can customize these burgers by adding additional toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and red onions for extra flavor and crunch.
- If you don’t have access to a grill, you can also cook the burgers in a skillet on the stovetop with a little coconut oil over medium heat until fully cooked.
- Make sure to thaw and drain spinach thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the burger mixture.
- Check the internal temperature of the burgers with a meat thermometer to ensure they are cooked safely.
