Instructions
1. Make the Tzatziki Sauce
- Grate and Drain Cucumber: Use the largest holes of a box grater. Squeeze out excess water by pressing the grated cucumber over the sink or between kitchen towels.
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix the cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and herbs (dill and optional mint). Stir well.
- Chill: Refrigerate the sauce until ready to serve. For the best flavor, let it sit overnight, but it can be made fresh.
2. Prepare the Veggies
- Slice the onion, tomato, and cucumber into thin, even pieces.
- Set them aside for assembly.
3. Cook the Chicken Patties
- Heat a skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and add butter or ghee.
- Cook the chicken patties directly from frozen, grilling them until heated through and golden brown.
4. Toast the Bread
- For Pita Bread: Toast in a skillet with butter or ghee until lightly crispy.
- For Sliced Bread: Toast one side in a skillet with butter or ghee.
- Low-Carb Option: Skip the bread and use large romaine lettuce leaves as a base.
5. Assemble Your Plate
- Place the toasted bread or lettuce on a plate.
- Add a chicken patty on top.
- Layer the sliced veggies over the patty.
- Finish with a dollop of tzatziki on top and a little extra on the side for dipping.
Optional Side:
Serve with homemade fries and dip them in tzatziki for a complete meal.
Enjoy your open-face Greek chicken patty meal as a delicious sandwich or a low-carb alternative!
