Greek-Inspired Chicken Burgers

Serving Size

4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsps Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper (diced and divided)
  • 1 Red Onion (diced and divided)
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 lb Ground Chicken
  • 1/2 cup Black Olives (chopped and divided)
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese (crumbled and divided)
  • 2 Cucumbers (diced)
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to season burgers)
  • 4 cups Mixed Greens (or your serving choice for the burger)

Directions

  • Begin by washing and chopping your produce (bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber). Buy pre-sliced black olives, or dice these as well.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add half of the red pepper and half of the red onion to the skillet. Saute for about 5 minutes or until onion is translucent. Add baby spinach and stir just until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  • Add almond flour, ground chicken, half of the black olives, and half of the feta cheese to the mixing bowl. Now add in your sauteed vegetables. Mix well. Form the mixture into even patties and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the fridge until ready to grill.
  • Meanwhile, create your Greek salsa in a bowl by combining the remaining red pepper, red onion, black olives, feta cheese, and cucumber. Drizzle with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
  • Preheat the grill (or pan) over medium heat. Transfer burgers onto the grill and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes per side or until the burger is cooked through. Remove from grill.
  • Plate burger over a bed of greens, in a bun, on top of couscous, and top with your chopped Greek salsa.
