Description
Juicy herb-crusted chicken patties layered with tangy feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and cooling tzatziki. Served on toasted flatbread for a Mediterranean-inspired handheld masterpiece.
Ingredients
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
8 small flatbreads
1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
1/4 cup pickled red onions
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (for flatbread)
Instructions
Preheat skillet to medium-high heat or ignite a charcoal grill.
Combine chicken, oregano, garlic, lemon zest, red pepper flakes (if using), 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 of the feta in a bowl. Mix gently.
Form into 8 evenly sized patties. Press remaining feta and sun-dried tomatoes into patties.
Sear patties 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Warm flatbreads, lightly brush with olive oil, and toast with rosemary.
Assemble burgers with tzatziki, patties, pickled onions, and remaining feta/olives if desired.
Notes
Use store-bought tzatziki for convenience. Leftover patties freeze well. Substitute pita for flatbreads if preferred. For extra char, finish on a hot grill.
