Preparation
Step 1
Make the Greek yogurt sauce by mixing together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Place in the fridge until ready to serve.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine all of the burger ingredients except the oil. Use your hands to mix well and form 4 patties.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the patties and sear for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Carefully transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until cooked through.
Step 5
While the burgers are baking, smear about a tablespoon of hummus inside each pita pocket. Stuff with the veggies and top with the cooked burgers. Either drizzle the Greek yogurt sauce inside or serve it as a dip.

Back to TopThis was the moistest chicken burger I've ever made. I'd seriously consider swapping oregano out for the cumin OR adding some coriander and sumac to this. I a salted the zucchini to get out more water. I also agree with the other reviewer that this makes massive patties. I got 7 patties instead of 4. I'd make them even smaller if planning to stuff a Patty. I really liked this more as a pizza with hummus then veg then burger crumbled on top then tzatziki. I'll also be sticking with my usual tzatziki recipe vs this one .

Very delicious and messy, in a good way. I made 6 good-sized burgers.

We love these. Fresh and delicious and very filling. They are incredible juicy. Making 4 patties out of these produces HUGE patties, so tonight I'm going to make them more fallafel/meatball sized. I'm hoping this way we can stuff them into the pita for a more traditional pita pocket meal.

OMG, this was so good! It was also very healthy and filling. The only change I made was that I salted the zucchini when I set it to drain. I also found that the advised cooking time was way off. It needed to bake it for 19 minutes. Family absolutely loved it, too!

I thought it was good for a chicken burger. Even my husband who is against non-red-meat burgers agreed it was good. I would probably amp up the scallions more next time to add more flavor but otherwise good & impressively tasty and moist.
