Can I make Greek Chicken Burgers with Tzatziki ahead of time?

Yes! You can mix and form the patties, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking. Great for busy nights when you want dinner to feel “effortless,” even if you did the effort earlier.

How do I store leftovers?

Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days . Keep tzatziki separate so the buns don’t get soggy.

Can I freeze the patties?

Absolutely. Freeze uncooked patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet until firm, then move to a freezer bag. They’ll keep well for about 2–3 months . Thaw overnight in the fridge before grilling.

What can I use instead of coconut oil?

Any neutral oil works (avocado, canola, light olive oil). Coconut oil is just what I reach for sometimes—use what you’ve got.

What should I serve with these burgers?

These are fantastic with: simple Greek salad roasted potatoes air-fryer fries rice or quinoa sliced veggies + hummus Basically… anything that makes your plate feel happy.

Instructions

Mix the burger base: In a large bowl, combine garlic, green onions, squeezed-dry spinach, ground chicken, oregano, basil, feta, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
Form patties: Shape mixture into 4 equal burger patties (about 3/4-inch thick).
Grill: Heat grill to medium and lightly grease with coconut oil. Grill patties 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through (165°F internal temp).
Serve: Place on buns and top with tzatziki and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Squeeze the spinach really dry so the patties don’t fall apart.

No grill? Cook in a skillet or grill pan over medium heat, same timing.

Make-ahead: Form patties and refrigerate up to 24 hours before cooking.

Freezer-friendly: Freeze uncooked patties (with parchment between) up to 2–3 months.
