These Mediterranean-inspired chicken patties are a light contrast to your beef burgers and compliment 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. Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken |
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano |
1 tablespoon kalamata-olive tapenade |
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese |
1 1/2 tablespoons crushed garlic |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/8 tablespoon coarse-ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Mix chicken, oregano, tapenade, feta cheese, and garlic together in a bowl; form into 4 patties. Season burgers with salt and pepper.
2. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate with olive oil.
3. Cook patties until charred on bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and finish cooking, refraining from flattening with your spatula until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels before serving.
