Chicken "gyro" Burgers

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground chicken
• 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1/4 of an onion, finely chopped
• 2 teaspoons italian seasoning (i used one that has rosemary and oregano in particular)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• additional olive oil (for cooking)
• 4 pita bread
• dill dip (i use storebought, but i imagine this would work well with mayo, feta cheese, or tzatziki sauce as w)
• tomato
• lettuce or greens

Recipe

• 1 1.) place ground chicken in a bowl, along with the garlic, onion, italian seasoning, 1 tbsp olive oil and lemon juice.
• 2 2.) here, i mix everything up with my hands, and form this mixture into 4 patties. you can feel free to mix with a spoon if you prefer before forming them into patties by hand.
• 3 3.) place a small amount (about 1-2 tbsp) of olive oil in a frying pan. once the pan is hot, place patties into the pan (i suggest using a larger frying pan if doing them all at once, so they're not touching too much during cooking).
• 4 4.) keep a close eye on these and flip as needed, as they will cook quickly.
• 5 5.) while these patties are cooking, warm the pitas in the oven or microwave. once warmed, spread a small amount of dill dip (or your condiment of choice) on the pita.
• 6 6.) once the patties are cooked, place a patty on one side of each pita, and top patties with a slice of tomato and lettuce. close the pita together, making a "roll" of sorts for your chicken burger.
• 7 7.) enjoy!
