Ingredients

• Ground chicken - 500 grams
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Cucumber - 1/2 medium, grated
• Greek yogurt (full-fat) - 100 grams
• Fresh dill - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Red onion - 1/4 small, finely chopped
• Lettuce leaves - 4 large (for serving)
• Sliced tomato - 1 medium (for serving)

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the chicken mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a separate bowl, combine grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and red onion. Mix well and season with salt to taste.
5. Once the chicken patties are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute.
6. To assemble the burgers, place each chicken patty on a large lettuce leaf, top with a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce, and add sliced tomato.
7. Wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately.
