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
- 1.5 pounds ground chicken
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 tablespoon Kalamata-olive tapenade
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 1.5 tablespoons crushed garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.13 tablespoons coarse-ground black pepper

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.
