I love a good burger. You too? Whether it’s classic beef burgers, turkey burgers or chicken burgers, they always hit the spot.

Just like this ground chicken meatloaf, these Mediterranean ground chicken burgers are a favourite, and it’s no surprise why.

With plenty of aromatic herbs, salty feta cheese and roasted red peppers, they are so incredibly flavourful.

Ingredients

Ground chicken: Ground chicken is a great alternative to ground beef when you are looking for something a little different. Keep the ground chicken chilled until you are ready to use (the burgers tend to bind better that way).
Fresh bread crumbs: Plain, fresh bread crumbs help to bind the chicken burgers. There’s no need to use a flavoured variety as there’s tons of seasoning in these burgers.
Feta cheese: Instead of garnishing the chicken burgers with feta, feta is actually incorporated into the patties. So yummy!
Veggies: Roasted red peppers, red onion and garlic add a pop of colour, some moisture and tons of flavour to these homemade burgers.
Herbs: Fresh herbs (like parsley, dill and oregano) add another element of flavour and pop of colour to the patties.
Seasoning: Crushed red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper are used.
Lemon juice: A little splash of fresh lemon juice really compliments the other ingredients.
Olive oil: Used for pan-frying the chicken burgers. If you like, you can grease your frying pan with cooking spray instead.
Hamburger buns: I just love brioche hamburger buns, but you can use your favourite variety.

How To Make It

Here is an overview of how to make these Mediterranean ground chicken burgers (full details are in the recipe card below):

Grab a large bowl and mix all of the chicken burger ingredients together (aside from the olive oil and hamburger buns, of course).
Divide the ground chicken mixture into four patties. Make a little indentation in the centre of each patty (this helps them to stay a nice shape as they cook).
Now cook the chicken burgers (I like to cook them in batches of two, but you can cook four of them at a time if you can fit them in the pan). To cook them, heat some olive oil in a large frying pan, then place the chicken burgers in the skillet (with some space between each one), then cook on both sides until they’re fully cooked through. Repeat to cook the remaining chicken burgers.
Assemble the chicken patties on hamburger buns with toppings, then devour!

Serving Variations

Instead of serving the chicken burger patties on hamburger buns, enjoy them as a wrap by crumbling them up and serving on a flour tortilla with veggies and lemon dill yogurt sauce or tzatziki.

Alternatively, serve them between big leaves of lettuce (like Boston lettuce) or crumble them over top of spinach salad or a Mediterranean rice bowl.

Tips

As you are forming your chicken burger patties, place them onto a plate lined with parchment paper or wax paper (or place a little round of it under the patties) so the patties easily come off the plate (and the paper) when you are ready to cook them.
Keep your ground chicken cold by keeping it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it. The burgers tend to stick together better that way.
Mix your chicken burger patty ingredients until the ingredients are thoroughly combined but don’t overmix.
Want to know if the burger patty mixture is seasoned to your liking? Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan, then fry about 1 tablespoon of the mixture until it’s cooked through. Give it a try and if you feel like it needs more dill or salt, for instance, add more.
Want to make these ahead of time? Prep the chicken burger patties a day ahead, store them in an airtight container (with sheets of wax paper or parchment paper separating them so they don’t stick together), and then place the container in the refrigerator. Cook the chicken burger patties the next day when you are ready. They’re so convenient to have on hand!
