# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set out the warm chicken patties topped with your yogurt sauce and the crunchy tomato-cucumber salad. If you like, toss on some pita, tortillas with hummus, heaps of rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or even noodles.
02 -
Fill a bowl with those chopped tomatoes, little cucumber cubes, green onions, lemon zest, cilantro, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a small shake of salt. Gently stir it so everything mixes together but doesn't get mushy.
03 -
After browning, move the chicken patties onto a baking sheet. Slide them into your preheated oven and let them finish up for 7 to 10 minutes or until they're cooked all the way through.
04 -
Warm some olive oil in a big frying pan set to medium heat. Once it’s hot, toss in the patties. Let them sizzle for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re nicely browned.
05 -
Grab small handfuls of the chicken mix and press them into patties of about the same size.
06 -
Drop the chicken, zucchini, corn, red pepper, green onions, egg, bread crumbs, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper into one big bowl. Use your hands and mix it all up, but don’t overdo it.
07 -
Turn your oven on to 220 C or 425 F so it’s hot when you’re ready.
08 -
Stir Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a bit of salt in a small bowl. Pop it in the fridge to chill until you need it.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Letting the yogurt sauce sit in the fridge helps the flavors come together and taste fresher.
02 -
Check that the inside of the burgers gets up to 74°C or 165°F so it’s cooked and safe.
03 -
Starting burgers in a pan before the oven makes them juicier inside and crispier outside.
