CHICKEN AND FETA BURGERS



Chicken and Feta Burgers image

These Mediterranean-inspired chicken patties are a light contrast to your beef burgers and complement any backyard get-together. If you use all-breast meat, add some olive oil to the meat mixture so they don't dry out. You could also use 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives instead of the tapenade. Use tzatziki sauce on top to stay with the Mediterranean flavors or use a sesame dressing with shredded lettuce for an Asian taste.

FETA~CHICKEN BURGERS

Every time I make these people love them! They are good on the grill or a grill pan indoors. I like to make them in the summer during lunch breaks, for all the girls that I work with. We use a tiny propane grill out back of work, in the parking lot :) The pic I added shows it with orange roasted peppers, and it was grilled quite...

1 roasted red, orange or yellow peppers

MAYO TOPPING-OPTIONAL
3-4 Tbsp mayo of choice

Steps:

  • 1. For roasted red peppers: you may use diced up jarred- or do your own. Simply place on cookie sheet under the broiler for about 15 min. Place in a plastic bag for 15 min. to make the peel easy to remove. You dont have to remove the peel if you do not want to.
  • 2. Break up the ground chicken in a bowl, add as much red pepper and feta as you wish. You should see alot of them in the mix.
  • 3. Add greek seasoning and chopped kalamata olives if desired, and mix - do not overmix. If they are very wet, you could add a bit of bread crumbs
  • 4. Shape into 4 burgers. Place tinfoil on the grill and cut slits in it. spray foil with cooking spray.
  • 5. Grill over med heat for about 5 mins. per side. or to your liking.
  • 6. While they are grilling, prepare mayo topping if you are using it.
  • 7. Mix the mayo and some roasted pepper to serve on top..sometimes I add more feta to this and diced cucumbers
  • 8. Let burgers sit a few mins, tented with foil, while buns toast. Serve with the mayo and a few spinach leaves-if desired.
