Dig into these juicy Greek Chicken Burgers made with crumbled feta, fresh dill, and sundried tomatoes!

They’re flavorful and moist, and best when served on toasted buns with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and tzatziki for a delicious Mediterranean-inspired meal.

I’m going to share the secret to a really amazing chicken burger – It’s all about the flavors that you add!

Chicken on its own, especially white meat chicken, is fairly plain, so the more flavor you can add to it, the better. This easy chicken burger recipe definitely brings the Mediterranean flavor, with feta cheese, fresh dill, and sundried tomatoes mixed right into the chicken patties.

Five stars.

Delicious! Super quick and easy to make

You can serve these Greek chicken burgers on brioche buns, or wrap them in lettuce or slice and add to a greek salad to create a low-carb meal.

You can also enjoy greek burgers in pita or flatbread just like a chicken souvlaki wrap! Homemade tzatziki sauce is optional but makes the perfect creamy topping.

Greek Chicken Burger Recipe Highlights

  • Easy Preparation – Throw all of the ingredients in a bowl, make the patties, then grill them to perfection! Dinner will be ready in less than 30 minutes tonight.
  • Delicious Greek Inspired Flavors – Tangy sundried tomatoes, salty feta cheese, and savory garlic and onions make plain ground chicken taste amazing!
  • A Healthier Alternative – Ground chicken burgers have less fat than traditional ground beef burgers. Without the buns, chicken burgers are also low in carbs and high in protein.
  • Great for Meal Prep – Burger patties are a favorite for meal prep. Double or even triple the recipe and make a big batch to keep in the freezer for lunches or dinners in the future.

Chicken Burger Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make the best chicken and feta burgers:

Ingredients needed to make greek style chicken burgers with feta, sundried tomatoes, garlic and dill.

Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

  • Lean Ground Chicken: One pound of ground chicken will make four burger patties. Double the whole recipe if you’re looking to feed a larger group.
  • Egg and Breadcrumbs: Together these ingredients act as a binder to hold the meat and cheese mixture together.
  • Sundried Tomatoes: Sweet and savory, these have so much flavor! Drain the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces.
  • Feta Cheese: For the best flavor, buy a block of feta and cut or break it into crumbles yourself. Pre-crumbled feta is not as tasty.
  • Onion: Use a box grater to grate the onion. This way, you won’t have crunchy pieces of onion in your burger patties.
  • Seasonings: Fresh minced garlic, fresh dill, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

How To Make Greek Chicken Burgers

1. Combine the Ingredients: Add everything but the cheese to a large mixing bowl. Mix by hand until just combined.

2. Gently Fold in the feta cheese.

3. Make Patties by dividing the ground chicken mixture into 4 equal portions.

4. Cook the burgers in a skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side.

Tip!

Check for doneness! Ground chicken burgers are fully cooked when they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Recipe Tips

  • To Grill the Burgers: Lightly oil the grill grates and heat the grill over medium heat. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • To Air Fry Chicken Burgers: Follow the instructions in my Air Fryer hamburgers recipe. It should take 8-10 minutes at 370°F/190°C in the air fryer. Flip the burgers over halfway through the cooking time.
  • Use your hands. Using your hands to mix the ground chicken will allow you to do it gently, and avoid overmixing the meat, which can cause your chicken burgers to dry out. I like to wear gloves when working with raw chicken.
  • Instead of breadcrumbs, use almond meal to make the recipe gluten-free and lower in carbs.
  • Fresh dill is delicious, and you can also use it to make a tasty dill sauce! If you only have dried dill, use just a teaspoon.

Storing Tips

  • Leftover chicken burgers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Reheat the patties in the microwave for a bit, or add them back to a hot skillet and cook on both sides until heated through.
  • You can freeze raw ground chicken patties so that they are ready to cook when you’re ready to eat them! I suggest freezing them flat on a baking sheet, then removing and storing in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
  • Thaw frozen chicken burgers in the fridge overnight, or cook them directly from frozen in a hot pan or on the grill.

Greek Burger Toppings

These delicious chicken burgers with feta cheese are just begging for some delicious Greek style toppings!

Instead of ketchup or mayo, add a generous serving of tzatziki sauce to each burger, along with fresh lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion.

These toppings will give you all the tasty flavors of chicken Souvlaki, but in burger form!

Recipe FAQs

Can I leave out the egg when making ground chicken burgers?

In this recipe, the egg helps to hold everything together, but the burgers can work if you’d like to make the recipe egg-free. Without the egg, the patties will be very delicate before cooking, so be extra careful when moving them to the grill.

What type of breadcrumbs should I use to make chicken burgers?

I tested these with regular breadcrumbs and with panko breadcrumbs, and found that I preferred the texture with the regular ones. If you have panko on hand, feel free to use it. The feta burgers will still be delicious!

If you’re interested in making gluten-free chicken burgers, replace the breadcrumbs with your favorite gluten-free brand, or use almond meal or almond flour instead.

Why are my chicken burgers dry?

Overmixing the meat will cause the burgers to be dry, and this is true for any kind of ground meat that you’d use to make burgers or meatballs. To be sure that everything is mixed gently, I like to use my hands (with gloves) rather than a spoon.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound (450 g) ground chicken
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup (30 g) plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 ounces (120 g) feta cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup (40 g) sun dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil or avocado oil for cooking

Instructions 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, grated onion, minced garlic, sundried tomatoes, fresh dill, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix by hand until just combined.

  • To Air Fry Chicken Burgers: It should take 8-10 minutes at 370°F/190°C in the air fryer. Flip the burgers over halfway through the cooking time.

    I doubled the recipe and made these chicken burgers tonight. They were delicious, but it took at least twice the amount of breadcrumbs to help hold them together. Serve them with tzatziki sauce. Very good!

      Glad you enjoyed them, Sharon! Doubling the recipe can sometimes change the texture, so adding extra breadcrumbs makes sense.
