Time 30m

Yield 4 burgers, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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)
tomatoes
lettuce or greens

Steps:

1.) Place ground chicken in a bowl, along with the garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, 1 TBSP olive oil and lemon juice.
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.) 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.) Keep a close eye on these and flip as needed, as they will cook quickly.
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.) 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.) Enjoy!
