A few months ago I saw this recipe on a blog I read.
I don't use ground chicken often, but it sounded so good!
I purchased everything I needed just a few days later,
and made these burgers two nights in a row!!!
I changed just a few things from the original recipe,
but they were just as delicious as I thought they'd be.
The Goods:
Hamburger Buns
Ground Chicken
Bread Crumbs
Egg
Cucumber
Red Onion
Lemon
Red Wine Vinegar
Plain Greek Yogurt
Feta (Not Pictured)
Fresh Dill
Parsley Flakes
Salt
Pepper
In a small bowl, combine the following:
1 cup Greek yogurt, juice and zest from 1/2 lemon,
2 teaspoons dried parsley, 1 to 3 teaspoons fresh chopped dill,
salt and pepper to your liking.
In a container with a lid, combine the following:
3/4 cup red wine vinegar, 1/4 of a red onion - thinly sliced,
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh dill - chopped.
Let sit at least 15 minutes, or up to a few days
In a large bowl, combine the following:
1 pound ground chicken, 1/4 red onion - diced,
1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 egg, zest from 1/2 a lemon,
1 to 2 teaspoons fresh chopped dill, 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes.
Once mixed, divide into 6 portions and form into patties.
Spray grill and then cook fully.
Toast your buns on the grill too!
Add a little feta cheese and melt for a minute or so.
Spread yogurt mixture onto both buns,
add thinly sliced cucumbers,
chicken burger and the pickled onions.
It sadly doesn't look like anything too special...
But man oh man does it sure taste amazing!!!
