Grilled Greek Chicken Burgers

This unique and healthy Grilled Greek Chicken burger recipe is made with ground chicken breast and loaded with Mediterranean flavors like feta, black olive, sundried tomatoes, and garlic, then served in a pita!

This chicken feta burger is great for grilling season and the ideal healthy grilling recipe for Father's Day. However, it's popular any time of the year, as it can be made in a skillet or in the air fryer as well. This recipe was inspired by my Award-winning Mediterranean Chicken and Wild Rice Cups on this site and is ww friendly. They pair perfectly with my Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Sauce (with fresh dill)!

🥘Ingredients

For this recipe, you'll need the following burger ingredients:

• 1.5 lb ground chicken breast * about 6 medium-sized chicken breasts (ground)
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1 cup feta cheese (I use light)
• ⅔ cup black olives * I use Kalamata olives
• ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• pita bread halves
• ½ tsp oregano
• ⅛ tsp each salt and black pepper
• tzatziki sauce

Optional filling/toppings/garnish:

• tomato
• red onion
• fresh mint
• tzatziki
• lemon slices or lemon wedges

🔪Instructions

Prep : preheat grill to medium (400 degrees F) and oil grill with cooking oil

Garnish with Tzatziki, red onion, tomatoes, and fresh mint, and squeeze a little lemon juice over the chicken. Or use any other fillings you prefer.

Hint: If barbecuing on an outdoor grill, let the grill run for 4-5 minutes to burn off any remnants, then clean it. I like to use this bristle-free grill brush (affiliate link) for cleaning the grill.

📖Variations & Substitutions

• Chicken- alternatively, you could use lean ground turkey.
• Pita bread - you can use white or whole wheat pita bread (use a low-carb pita bread for lower WW points) with this recipe. Alternatively, you can use a hamburger bun or another type of bun.
• Oil- you can use any type of oil you prefer, but I use olive oil. It's easiest to brush it on the grill.
• Garlic - you could use minced garlic in a jar or garlic powder instead of fresh garlic cloves.
• Oregano - you can use fresh oregano instead of dried, but you'll need double the amount
• Sundried Tomatoes - if you don't have any sundried tomatoes, you could use red peppers. The taste will be a bit different (but still delicious)
• Fillings- I like to use tzatziki, red onion, tomatoes, and fresh mint, but you can use whatever type of filling you like, including other fresh herbs such as dill or parsley. You could also use cucumber slices and red pepper if you prefer.

🥗 Side Dishes

These Greek burgers pair well with the following side dishes:

🍽Equipment

You will need a grill if you are grilling these Greek burgers. You can use an BBQ/outdoor grill or an indoor grill pan, a stovetop grill, or simply use a fryingpan/skillet. You could also make them in the air fryer. If you don't have a meat grinder attachment for your mixer, use a food processor grind the chicken breast (see top tips). You'll also find an instant read thermometer is ideal for checking doneness of chicken (chicken is very easy to overcook). *See recipe card for recommended equipment photos and links

Store this Greek-style chicken burger in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the toppings separately. The pita bread can be stored in a plastic bag at room temperature.
