Feta Stuffed Chicken Burgers Recipes

CHICKEN AND FETA BURGERS

Chicken and Feta Burgers image

These Mediterranean-inspired chicken patties are a light contrast to your beef burgers and complement any backyard get-together. If you use all-breast meat, add some olive oil to the meat mixture so they don't dry out. You could also use 2 tablespoons chopped Kalamata olives instead of the tapenade. Use tzatziki sauce on top to stay with the Mediterranean flavors or use a sesame dressing with shredded lettuce for an Asian taste.

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground chicken
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon Kalamata-olive tapenade
2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
1 ½ tablespoons crushed garlic
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ tablespoon coarse-ground black pepper

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate with olive oil.
Cook patties until charred on bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip the burgers and finish cooking, refraining from flattening with your spatula until no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
Knead together the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized balls; flatten to make thin patties. Place about 1/4 cup of feta cheese onto each of four of the patties. Top each of the patties with cheese with one of the patties without; press the edges together to seal the cheese into the center.
Cook on the preheated grill until the burgers are cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 7 to 8 minutes per side for well done. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
