# How to Make It:

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—avoid overworking the meat to maintain tenderness.
03 - Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during 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 on the grill pan or in a toaster until golden and crisp.
06 - Place lettuce on the bottom bun, add a chicken patty, spoon generous tzatziki over the top, and layer with tomato and onion slices. Cover with the top bun.
07 - Serve immediately with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The feta inside these burgers creates little bursts of salty creaminess in every bite
  • Homemade tzatziki sauce is ridiculously simple and transforms everything it touches
  • Ground chicken stays incredibly juicy when you do not overwork the meat mixture
02 -
  • Overworking the chicken mixture makes tough burgers, mix just until combined
  • Squeezing every drop of water from the grated cucumber prevents watery tzatziki
03 -
  • Grate the cucumber on the large holes for better texture in the tzatziki
  • Lightly oil your hands before shaping patties to prevent sticking
