Greek Chicken Burgers with Feta Aioli
Easy to make juicy greek chicken burgers that are bursting with simple, fresh flavours topped with a creamy feta aioli. Enjoy them year-round with cooking instructions for the grill and the oven included. I recommend serving these burgers on a bun with lettuce, sliced cucumber, tomato and red onion!
About This Greek-Inspired Chicken Burger Recipe:
If you don’t know by now, I love anything Greek-inspired. The flavours, vibrant colours, and incorporation of fresh ingredients like herbs, vegetables and fruits is so delicious to me.
This recipe for Greek Chicken Burgers was actually inspired by by Greek Chicken Meatballs recipe. I wanted a juicy chicken burger recipe for the summer, so I took my meatball recipe, made a few adaptations, and these juicy and delicious Greek Chicken Burgers were born.
What I love about this chicken burger recipe is how simple and fresh yet delicious all of the flavours are. And the feta aioli sauce takes these burgers right over the top. They’re so delicious! I recommend enjoying the burgers and aioli on a nice burger bun with sliced vegetables like lettuce, tomato, red onion and cucumber. You won’t regret it!
Ingredients for Greek Chicken Burgers with Feta Aioli:
To make the chicken burgers, you’ll need:
- 1 lb. lean ground chicken
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup white or yellow onion, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- zest of 1/2 lemon
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- large pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 ounces feta cheese
To make the aioli, you’ll need:
- 2 tbsp greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
How to Make the Burgers:
Mix the ground chicken together in a large bowl with the oats, egg, grated onion, garlic, parsley, lemon zest, spices, and feta. With clean hands, mix all of the ingredients together until well-combined.
Then shape the chicken mixture into 6 patties and gently press your thumb into the middle of each. Then cook the patties on the grill or in the oven. See cooking instructions below!
How to Make the Feta Aioli:
While the burgers are cooking, you can make the Feta Aioli by whisking the greek yogurt, mayo, feta cheese, garlic, lemon juice and black pepper together in a mixing bowl until well-combined.
What to Serve with these Greek Chicken Burgers:
I recommend serving each burger on a nice bun with lettuce, sliced tomato, red onion, cucumber and feta aioli or homemade tzatziki.
Alternatively, you can eat the burgers on a lettuce wrap instead of a bun, or crumble on top of a salad or nourish bowl.
As for what to serve on the side with the burgers, here are some ideas:
- Garden or Greek salad
- Roasted Potatoes
- Watermelon Feta Salad
- Sliced veggies like cucumber, tomatoes and carrots
Can You Freeze The Burgers?
Yes! You can store the greek chicken burgers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. Or you can store them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Then defrost, reheat, and enjoy when you’re ready to eat them.
