Method
Why I Like this Recipe
This recipe is healthy, filling, and simple to prepare. Lean chicken and spinach make it light, while halloumi and creamy tzatziki add lots of flavour. It’s both comforting and fresh.
Tips and Variations
- Choose wholegrain sourdough buns for extra fibre.
- Use lean minced chicken for a lower-fat option.
- Try turkey mince instead of chicken for a change.
- Swap regular halloumi for reduced-fat grilling cheese or use feta for a lighter option.
- Use vegan halloumi and plant-based yoghurt to make it vegetarian.
- Serve with sweet potato fries or a fresh Greek salad on the side.
- Add extra tzatziki on the side as a dip for a lighter, refreshing bite.
Meal Storage
Store cooked patties in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in a skillet or oven. Tzatziki is best fresh but will keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. Keep patties and tzatziki separate if meal-prepping.
Freezer tips
Cooked patties can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.
Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Shape the patties and refrigerate for up to 24 hours, or freeze for up to 1 month.
Brioche buns, whole-wheat buns, or pita bread also work well.
Not at all. It just adds a creamy, fresh flavour that perfectly balances the burger.
Closing Note
Simple, fresh, and full of flavour. This chicken burger with spinach, halloumi and tzatziki works well for lunch, dinner, or a barbecue when you want a lighter option. If you like yoghurt-based chicken meals, try chicken kebab pittas with cucumber garlic yoghurt.
