Best Ever Chicken Burger with Mediterranean-Spiced Chicken Patties
Report
The trick to juicy, flavorful chicken burgers is a really excellent chicken patty. And this recipe pulls out all the stops: seasoning to perfection with Mediterranean-style aromatics and breading the patty for an extra crispy exterior. For a gluten-free option, simply use gluten free breadcrumbs and serve wrapped in lettuce or on top of your favorite salad.

Ingredients
For the Chicken Patties
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs (you can use GF bread crumbs)
- 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
- 1 small yellow onion, grated
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Urfa Biber (Urfa will lend a slight kick while adding a more complex depth of flavor, or use red pepper flakes)
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- extra virgin olive oil
To Serve
- 4 burger buns (or lettuce wraps for low carb/gluten free option)
- Garlic Aioli
- romaine lettuce
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Make the chicken patty mixture. In a medium mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs, Greek yogurt, onion, Italian seasoning, and Urfa Biber (or red pepper flakes). Add a drizzle of olive oil (about 1 tablespoon) and use your hands to mix well (use gloves, or wash your hands very well afterwards).
- Bread the chicken patties. Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs on a plate. Divide the chicken mixture into 4 large meatballs and gently roll each one in the bread crumbs. Gently press with your palms to flatten into about 3/4-inch thick chicken patties.
- Pan-sear the chicken patties. Brush the bottom of a large cast iron skillet or grill pan with a thin layer of olive oil (about 2 teaspoons) and set over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, arrange the patties in the skillet without touching. Cook until browned, 4 to 5 minutes, then flip and cook for until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Build the chicken burgers. Start by spreading a thin layer of garlic aioli on the buns. Add the chicken patties, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Serve immediately.
