These super fast and fresh Greek Chicken Burgers are made with wholesome ingredients that are stuffed with all the Greek Flavors we love. Grill indoors or out, enjoy with buns or bunless. You can also use these burgers for meal prep, and make ahead lunches. So much flavor, and the best part? You can enjoy them warm off the grill, or cold in lunches.
Greek Burger Recipe
My favorite way to enjoy this Greek burger is as a protein patty with a Greek salad. We love our bunless burgers around here! So much protein, ground chicken has about 22 grams per serving. 1 1/2 lbs of ground chicken yields about 4-6 medium sized burgers, depending on the portion of each burger. You can make these into patty form, so they’re like little protein poppers!
Ingredients
To ground chicken, we add feta, oregano, spinach, fresh lemon and red peppers for a Greek spin.
We like the crunch of a fresh bell pepper, but you could use roasted red peppers if that is a flavor you like. Just be sure to dry them well before chopping, they can be rather liquidy.
Cooking Greek Ground Chicken Burgers
These burgers are delicious grilled, but you can also make them on a stove top. Since weather does not always permit outdoor cooking , I use this grill pan on the stove and love it! You can see it throughout all of our burger recipes. My favorite pan! It helps create those perfect grill marks.
- No matter the cooking method, ground chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees fahrenheit. Use an electronic cooking thermometer in the most middle center of the burger for the most accurate reading.
- Dress these up with cucumber, spinach and a bit of onion.
- I also love these served with lemon dill sauce. Goes great with the Mediterranean flavors. Super fresh, super yummy! Stuff them in a pita or plop on a hamburger bun. We like them plain but if you got room for buns…do it!
Serving & Storing Leftover Greek Chicken Burgers
Double this recipe and you have a healthy lunch all week long! Delicious when chopped up and tossed in a salad! Perfect meal prep.
If you have leftovers, simply store them in an airtight container. They will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

These Greek Chicken Burgers are absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!
I modified a little by sautéing the onion (sweet onion, not red)
and the red bell pepper pepper together before adding to meat mixture.
I also mixed in a splash of olive oil for some added fat content.
I cooked ours in a skillet rather than grilled.
Served them with Turkish Yoghurt Garlic Sauce (recipe on Pinterest)
and they were a real hit!
My husband says these are a definite keeper!
Thank you, it’s a terrific recipe!
Kathi & Rachel says
Thank you so much for the rave reviews and 5 stars! Love the addition of a little oil, especially if using fat free ground chicken or turkey. Great tip! Kathi
Melissa says
This was pretty good, wasn’t too dry as ground chicken can get. I only substituted the red onion with yellow as we really dislike red. Held up on the grill and didn’t break apart. Will make again.
Shaun K says
The picture of the uncooked burger look to have purple onion in them. Was that left off of the ingredient list? If so, how much onion should I use.
Kathi & Rachel says
Shaun it’s a garnish. Slice some onion, put it on your burger. Put as much or as little as you like. Kathi
Meg says
I saw that too. The first pic clearly shows chopped onion …there is another with red onion as a garnish. My guess would be you put the chopped red onion in along with the feta, pepper spinach. That’s what I did.
Kathi & Rachel says
You guys are recipe sluths! You are correct, I did not put in the chopped red onion. Updated the recipe…thank you so much for pointing that out!
Pixie says
Kathi, Rachel, Made this for my parents Sunday dinner today. Excellent I used 1lbs white ground chicken and 1/2 lbs ground pork, because I had on hand and was worried about the lack of fat in the ground chicken. My dad (food snob) said, ‘This is gourmet’!!! Made five burgers, cooked (pan fired) three burgers for about fifteen minutes total. Two are in the freezer to be cooked next week. Awesome.
Kathi & Rachel says
So glad you loved it! Love love the idea of the added pork! Thank you for the nice note and 5 stars…woot!
Elaine says
These are delicious! Everyone loved them. I did add an egg to bind it all together.
Johanna says
Excellent! Love your recipes.
I added diced pitted Kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes! And in addition to oregano Greek seasoning. Over-the-top delicious thank you for all your talents. I also mixed half ground chicken thigh with half ground chicken breast it was a good combination thigh meat gave it nice flavor
