Lemon Herb Chicken and Halloumi Burgers with Tzatziki

These vibrant burgers combine juicy chicken breasts marinated in lemon and oregano with squeaky, salty halloumi cheese. Topped with a refreshing homemade tzatziki and crisp veggies, they bring the taste of the Mediterranean to your table in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, sliced horizontally into 4 cutlets
8 oz block halloumi cheese, sliced into 8 slabs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon (zest and juice)
2 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
4 brioche burger buns
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste
Lettuce and tomato slices for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Coat the chicken cutlets in the marinade and let them sit for 5-10 minutes while you prepare the sauce.

  3. 3

    To make the tzatziki, mix the Greek yogurt, squeezed cucumber, and fresh dill in a small bowl; season with a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cook the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and set aside.

  6. 6

    In the same pan, add the halloumi slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

  7. 7

    Lightly toast the brioche buns on the grill or in a toaster.

  8. 8

    Assemble the burgers by spreading tzatziki on the buns, then layering lettuce, tomato, a piece of chicken, and two slices of halloumi.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately while the halloumi is warm and soft.
