Instructions
Chicken Burgers:
-
In a large bowl, mix ground chicken with veggies (i’m keeping them raw but you can sauté first before, if you wish!), salt and pepper. Combine well and shape into 6 patties, about ¾-inch thick. Chill for 1 hour if possible to help hold their shape better.
-
Heat a nonstick griddle or a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat and brush with a small amount of canola or coconut oil.
-
Cook patties 5-6 minutes on each side. Serve with tzatziki and toppings of choice!
Tzatziki:
-
Grate the cucumbers and drain over a strainer (20-30 minutes).
-
Dry well with paper towel and squeeze most of the liquid out.Add the grated cucumber to a large bowl and combine with remaining ingredients. Taste for seasonings.

Enjoy!
