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
