Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 2 cucumbers, sliced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, egg, red onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper until just mixed. Be sure not to overwork the chicken; we want to keep those patties juicy!
  2. Shape the Patties: Shape the mixture into eight equal-sized patties. They should be about the same thickness for even cooking—don’t stress about perfection; a little rustic charm is always welcome in the kitchen!
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the patties in the skillet and cook for four to five minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell incredible!
  4. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In another bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated and drained cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and taste to adjust seasoning if needed. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while the patties cook.
  5. Make the Cucumber Salad: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced cucumbers and thinly sliced red onion with olive oil, red wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. This will add a lovely brightness to your meal!
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the chicken patties topped generously with tzatziki alongside the cucumber salad. Enjoy every bite while reminiscing about those sunny days by the sea.

Notes

Pair these patties with a crusty baguette or some fluffy pita bread. It’s also delicious with a simple Greek Salad.
