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)!

🥘Ingredient Notes

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

• Ground chicken breast * about 6 medium-sized chicken breasts (ground)If you don't have ground chicken breast and don't have a meat grinder, you can simply use a food processor to do it: How to grind chicken without a meat grinder
• Bread crumbs. Fine bread crumbs work best. You can purchase them at the grocery store or make your own in the food processor.
• Feta cheese. I use light feta to cut the calories and fat.
• Black olives (affiliate link). I use Kalamata olives because they are more traditional in Greek food, tangier, and tastier than canned black olives.
• Sundried tomatoes in oil. Although you can use rehydrated sundried tomatoes, I prefer to use the ones that come in oil in a jar, as they add a more robust flavor and moisture to the burger.
• Pita bread halves. I use Pita bread, which is traditionally used in Greek cooking, because it makes a great low-carb, healthier (lower ww points) bun substitute!
• Tzatziki sauce

📖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, a thin bun (I like the President's Choice thin buns) 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.

🔪How to Make Greek Chicken Burgers

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

Combine chicken, oregano, salt, pepper, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, black olives, and bread crumbs in a large bowl.

Stir until well combined.

Shape mixture into patties (you should get 8 burgers with this recipe)

Place patties on preheated and oiled grill and close the lid.

Grill patties over medium heat for 5 minutes.

Flip, then put the lid down again and grill for another 5 minutes or until the meat thermometer reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Remove from grill and serve immediately

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.

🥗 What to Serve with Greek Chicken Burgers (with feta)

These Greek burgers pair well with a lot of sides. I love to serve them with other Mediterranean sides such as Easy Greek rice, Greek-style roasted Potatoes, Greek Pasta Salad (shown), and this Healthy Tzatziki sauce, of course!

🍽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. You'll also find an instant read thermometer (affiliate link) is ideal for checking doneness of chicken (chicken is very easy to overcook).

These burgers can be frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
