Greek Chicken Burgers

Yield: 6-8 sliders
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients:

For Greek yogurt sauce:
1 (6 ounce) plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
1 tablespoon finely minced mint
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

For chicken burgers:
1 pound ground chicken
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon finely minced mint
1 tablespoon finely minced parsley
1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Baby spinach
6-8 slider buns I did not use

Directions:

For Greek yogurt sauce:
In a small bowl add everything and mix together. Keep in the fridge until ready to use. When you are ready to serve give a taste and add more salt if needed.
(Keep in mind the burgers contain feta cheese which will add a bit of salt to the finished sandwich)
For chicken burgers:
I sauteed the red peppers and a handful of baby spinach just to soften up the red pepper. Plus I like having the spinach in the actual burger.
In a large bowl add ground chicken, feta cheese, mint, parsley, red bell pepper, salt and black pepper.
Using your hands mix together until thoroughly combined. Divide meat mixture into 6 - 8 slider sized burgers.
Over medium heat, cook on the grill until the inside of the burger is no longer pink. {If you do not have a grill you can pan fry the burgers in one tablespoon of olive oil.} I just pan fried them with a spray of Smart Balance cooking spray.
To assemble the burgers add Greek yogurt sauce to the top and bottom of the bun, add burger, baby spinach. I served them on top of a bed of spinach and sliced some avocado on top as well. It was yummy!!
