# How To Make:
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 serving.
02 - Combine ground chicken, red onion, garlic, feta, parsley, dill, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix gently until just incorporated, avoiding overworking the meat.
03 - Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, ensuring uniform thickness for even cooking.
04 - Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Cook patties 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through, reaching internal temperature of 165°F.
05 - Lightly toast burger buns or pita breads until warm and slightly crisp.
06 - Layer lettuce on bun base, add chicken patty, spoon generous tzatziki over top, and finish with tomato and onion slices. Place top bun and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The feta melting through the chicken creates these incredible salty pockets of flavor that make every bite interesting
- Homemade tzatziki is infinitely better than store bought and comes together in minutes
02 -
- The patties will feel quite soft compared to beef burgers, but this is normal and keeps them moist
- Letting the tzatziki rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes lets the garlic really bloom through the yogurt
03 -
- Dont press down on the burgers with your spatula while they cook, youll squeeze out all those precious juices
- If the mixture feels too sticky to handle, wet your hands with cold water before shaping
