# How-To:
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, avoiding overworking the meat.
03 - Shape the chicken 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 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 warmed through.
06 - Layer lettuce on the bun base, add a chicken patty, generously spoon tzatziki over the top, then arrange tomato and onion slices. Place the top bun and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The feta inside the patties creates little pockets of salty creaminess that surprise you with every bite
- Homemade tzatziki comes together in minutes and tastes infinitely better than store bought
02 -
- Really squeeze that cucumber dry, or your tzatziki will turn into soup within an hour
- Letting the patties rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking helps them stay intact on the grill
03 -
- Double the tzatziki recipe because it's amazing on everything from sandwiches to roasted vegetables
- Toast the buns on the grill pan after the burgers for bonus flavor points
