Why you’ll love these Greek Chicken Burgers

I’m not of Greek descent, but I’m obsessed with Greek food! Those fresh, Mediterranean flavors are always delicious, and I will never turn down a Greek-inspired dish like my Greek lemon chicken and rice or Greek lemon chicken soup. Not only do these taste incredible, but they’re really all pretty wholesome. Olive oil, fresh herbs, tons of veggies, and delicious proteins like lamb and chicken… sign me up!

I got a craving for some Mediterranean food and decided to try it in burger form with these Greek Chicken Burgers! Here’s why you’ll love this recipe…

• It’s so flexible! What makes these burgers special is that they’re free of any flour, eggs, or filler ingredients. It’s great as a burger bowl, or in between some butterleaf lettuce as a bun!
• The best flavor! It’s hard to top the fresh herbs and tons of veggies that add so much flavor to the chicken burgers!

Recipe Ingredients

See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

• Ground chicken. If you can’t find ground chicken at the butcher counter, you can also use a food processor to grind your own at home. Or, you can just use ground turkey!
• Zucchini. The zucchini is shredded (you can use a food processor or a grater) and the excess water is removed.
• Red onion. This adds a lot of zest and flavor to the burger.
• Coconut flour. This acts as a binder in the burger. Technically, you could use other flours like almond flour if you tolerate nuts, or you could experiment with leaving it out.
• Lemon. This is used in both the burger and the tzatziki.
• Garlic, dill, and parsley.
• Coconut yogurt. This is the tzatziki base. You could use regular greek yogurt if you tolerate dairy. I would recommend the brand Culina or a dairy-free yogurt.
• Cucumber. Another hidden veggie inside the tzatziki sauce!
