Greek Inspired Chicken Burgers

Greek Inspired Chicken Burger

Over the summer months you will probably see many different varieties of chicken burgers on these pages because I barbeque them quite often. Some will be with ground chicken or turkey, but, my favourite way is to keep the boneless breast whole. Chicken burgers are so versatile and lend themselves to a variety of flavourings like all burgers. They are also easy and quick to prepare with little or no cleanup. To me that is the perfect summer meal!!! Today in honour of my blog sister Ivy... who wows us with delicious Greek and Cypriot dishes from Athens... I offer you a Greek inspired chicken burger.



The breast is marinated in a combination of oil and oregano, grilled to perfection and then topped with tzatziki and a mixture of tomatoes, feta and red onion. Here is Ivy's own recipe for tzatziki as well to add that extra bit of authentic touch.
