LEVEL:Easy
Ingredients
- Four 6-inch pita pockets
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 6 ounces low-fat plain yogurt
- 4 cups romaine or iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced
- 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
Directions
Cut off a third of each pita and set the pita pockets aside.
Grate the small pita pieces on the fine side of grater, or pulse in food processor, to make 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
In a large bowl, mix the crumbs, chicken, feta, 1/4 cup mint, salt, pepper and egg until just combined. Shape the mixture into 8 small 3/4-inch-thick burgers.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the burgers and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the yogurt and remaining 1/2 cup mint. To serve, fill each pita with some lettuce, tomatoes, 2 burgers and some yogurt sauce.
