Greek Style Chicken Burgers
I had the day off work yesterday which meant that I had extra time to experiment with what I was going to make for dinner! I had been eyeing a container of ground chicken in the freezer for months and knew that I wanted to put it to good use. In October I went to a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale called Fork & Balls where I had some delicious chicken balls on top of a kale salad. I used that recipe as inspiration for this dish! I used all fresh ingredients that I had in my fridge. I love when I create a recipe on a whim and it turns our fabulously!
I hate mushy textures, so I was nervous about mixing the ingredients up with my hands. Seriously. I have an irrational fear of touching squishy foods. I used to refuse to help make meatballs or meatloaf for dinner for that reason. But alas, I survived and made a delicious meal!
Here is what the burgers looked like pre-grilling!
The ingredients you will need for 5 servings are as follows:
- 1.00 lb(s), Ground Chicken
- 2.00 cup(s), Spinach – Raw
- 0.33 cup(s), Cheese, feta
- 3.00 clove(s), Garlic, raw
- 1.00 tsp(s), Spices, garlic powder
- 0.50 tsp(s), Sea Salt
- 0.50 tsp(s), Spices, pepper, black
- 1.00 tsp(s), Peppers, sweet, red, raw
- 0.50 tsp, Spices, onion powder
- 1.00 medium, Roma Tomato
| I served mine up on a bed of greens with a salad & my favorite coconut roasted Japanese sweet potatoes 🙂
I am including the nutrition info below as many people have been asking for that. Have you ever had chicken burgers before? This was my first time! Let me know if you try them in the comments!
