A nice change from regular hamburgers(probably healthier too)I made this recipe once to test it out,and my husband loved it so much it's now one of his favorite meals.Also good instead of mayo is tzatiki sauce,I can buy it at safeway in the deli section. Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken |
1/3 cup fine dry breadcrumb |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon mint (i never use the mint) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
2 pita bread |
mayonnaise (just for spreading inside of pitas) |
4 slices red onions |
4 slices tomatoes |
4 leaves green leaf lettuce (romaine with veiny middle cut out) |
Directions:
1. In medium bowl,gently mix together chicken,bread crumbs,egg,milk,lemon juice,mint,oregano,salt and pepper until well combined(mixing too vigorously will result in tough burgers).Shape into 4 patties each about 3/4 inch thick.
2. In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high heat.Cook patties about 8 minutes turning once,until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
3. Meanwhile,cut pitas in half crosswise to make 4 pockets.Warm pitas in 300 degree oven wrapped in aluminum foil for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 1 minute.
4. Spread inside of pita with mayo then place cooked patty inside with a slice of red onion ,tomato,and some lettuce.enjoy.
