Greek Chicken Burgers.

If you have been around here for a while, you have heard me tout my love for al fresco chicken sausage. It’s a staple in our fridge for quick weeknight dinners when I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen (a little secret about being a food blogger: when you cook all day for work sometimes the last thing you want to think about is what to make for dinner!). When my friends at al fresco chicken shared their first taste of their new line of chicken burgers I was eager to give them a try. We’ve been making an effort to cut most red meat out of our diet this year to lessen our impact on the environment, so a chicken burger swap for summer grilling was a welcome menu addition! The new chicken burgers come in three flavors: Jalapeño Cheddar, Greek Style, or Simply Seasoned. They’re all-natural, low calorie, and fully prepped so they’re ready to throw on the grill. I had to dig into the Greek style burgers first because I thought they would pair so well with the tomatoes and cucumbers bursting in my veggie garden currently. The Greek burgers come pre-seasoned with flavor from oregano, garlic and feta – yum! I wanted to play up the Greek flavors, so I cooked the burgers and served them on grilled flatbreads, topped with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickled red onions, feta cheese and a tzatziki-inspired sauce. The sauce combines Greek yogurt and lemon juice, sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic and chopped cucumbers. It’s got a balance of tang and cool flavors with some fresh herbal notes to tie it all together. On the side I mixed up a super simple salad of fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, seasoned with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. It all tastes so summery and fresh, and my favorite part: it comes together in just a few minutes so I can get dinner on the table fast!
