These Greek chicken burgers are a must-make dinner recipe during summer! The chicken patties are elevated with glorious Mediterranean flavors. And you can enjoy them on their own, topped onto buns, lettuce-wrapped, or turned into a burger bowl. Endless options!

Why You’ll Make These Greek Chicken Burgers Often

The secret to a really good chicken burger recipe lies in the flavor, and this Greek version has it all – from sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to aromatic dill and oregano. When I pair these burgers with my roasted Greek fries, it becomes my favorite way to do burger night, especially during the summer! But here are a few other reasons why you’ll find yourself making these chicken patties on the regular:

• It’s an easy high-protein meal: Similar to my turkey burgers, this is an easy and delicious way to get more protein into your diet. Plus, it fits the bill for a Mediterranean diet!
• They are great for meal prep: Burger patties are my favorite for meal prep, especially since you can double (or triple) a batch and freeze them.
• There are multiple ways to enjoy it: You can make a lettuce wrap, create a deconstructed burger bowl, or eat the patties on their own with a side of greens. I’ve got more fun ideas below!

Greek Chicken Burger Ingredients

• Ground chicken: A pack of ground chicken is typically made from a blend of white and dark meat, which is good for homemade patties to ensure they’re not super dry.
• Vegetables: Crisp red onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach add lots of flavor and texture to these patties. If you can’t get your hands on sun-dried tomatoes, you can substitute with roasted red peppers.
• Herbs: I’m using fresh dill in the burgers, so that I can also use some of it to make a fresh batch of tzatziki sauce. But if you have dried dill on hand, use just one teaspoon.
• Optional feta cheese: If you’re not dairy-free, adding a bit of crumbled feta cheese to your patty mix will taste great!

Cook the patties. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Cook the patties for about 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. You can use an instant-read thermometer to check and see if they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F.

Behind-The-Scenes

As is often the case in my world, the inspiration for one recipe comes from leftover ingredients from another (because you know I don’t like food waste). So after I tested my Mediterranean baked feta I had about half a jar of leftover sun-dried tomatoes. And I started pondering what to make with them.

At the same time, I’ve been trying to get more protein in my diet, because this 40-something needs all the help she can get when it comes to building muscle! And as most of you know, I almost always have baby spinach in my fridge.

Thus, after a quick trip to the market to get some fresh herbs, this Greek version of a chicken burger was stuck in my brain! I was thrilled with how it turned out, and it’s a definite “pro” to have several leftover patties that are easy for me to reheat. Sunny summer days never tasted so good!
