Details to follow:
To make the Burger Mix, add the ground chicken, chopped red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, chopped spinach, panko crumbs, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and fresh lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Use a gentle mixing motion until all of the ingredients are dispersed equally. When preparing the burgers, it is important to avoid overmixing them.
Patties are formed by dividing the ingredients into equal amounts and then shaping each portion into a patty. Depending on the size of the burgers you desire, this recipe should produce around four to six patties.
To prepare the burgers: In a skillet or grill, bring the temperature up to medium-high. It is possible to prevent food from sticking to a pan by applying a sprinkle of olive oil. Before placing the patties on the grill or pan, cook them for five to seven minutes on each side, or until they are completely cooked through and have a golden brown outside. In order to ensure safety, the temperature inside should exceed 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
When it comes time to serve, arrange each burger on a dish and accompany it with sliced cucumber and extra spinach for a bit of revitalizing freshness. In addition to being excellent on their own, these burgers may also be served on buns made with whole grains for a more substantial dinner.
In order to produce a meal that is not only nutrient-dense but also bursting with taste, these Mediterranean Chicken Burgers are a demonstration of the power that can be achieved when straightforward, fresh ingredients are combined. If you are in the need for something light but fulfilling, these burgers are sure to become a favorite. They are perfect for a family meal, a casual get-together, or any other occasion when you are in the mood for something. Take pleasure in the fusion of flavors and textures that this dish offers, which makes it distinctively delectable.
