These totally delicious chicken souvlaki burgers are packed full of fresh herbs and feta cheese. Stuffed into a pita and served with tzatziki sauce and fresh cucumbers.
Have you ever loved a show so much that you simply refused to watch the finale episodes in hopes that it was just a giant joke and the show wasn’t actually canceled?
Yes? No?
Well, that is what happened to me with Psych. I knew it was over and I have been staring at the last episode sitting unwatched in my Netflix queue.
I couldn’t do it. I didn’t want the show to be over and I didn’t want to say goodbye to my two favorite characters of all time – Shawn and Gus.
I would like to add I have this same problem with books. I hate saying goodbye to the characters that I love.
This is why I love series books.
Then I’m allowed to hang out with them for several books or years if an author keeps them going for a while.
Do you feel me?
So the day finally came that I sat down and watched the final episode.
My thoughts? It was good.
I hated that so much was changing in the final season but as my dad would say “It’s life. Things change. Get over it.” My dad is not one to mince words.
Luckily I had these burgers to help me get over my Psych sadness.
I know you’re not supposed to use food as comfort but it’s my life and I will do as I please.
Plus these burgers are kick-ass so trust me when I say you would do the same.
These babies are PACKED full of chopped baby spinach, dill, mint, and feta cheese.
It’s like Greek heaven just poured itself into this burger. It reminds me of chicken souvlaki but it burger form – hence the name.
And since I was on a souvlaki kick I decided to throw the burger into a pita, slather it with tzatziki sauce and garnish with a few slices of crispy cucumber.
Heaven people. Heaven. That is what this burger tastes like.
Well, if heaven was made of ground chicken, fresh herbs, spinach, feta cheese, tzatziki sauce, and pita.
Which could be true.
You don’t know.

I usually refuse to watch new shows because if I like it, it will be cancelled. Drives me crazy! Now this burgers I would be happy to eat and eat and eat.
Seriously … I can’t stop looking at those pictures. This burger sounds and looks absolutely incredible! Love greek flavors and love tzatziki even more! Can’t wait to make this!
These do look great! I am the same way with shows.. I am on the last season of binge watching Parenthood and I am pretty sure I won’t watch the last show…
That’s EXACTLY how I felt about Breaking Bad and now True Detective. I only have 1 1/2 episodes left of TD and I’m going to be so sad when it’s over. I may need to whip up some of these burgers to console me – totally not kidding!! They look SO GOOD, can’t wait to try them.
These chicken burgers look absolutely wonderful – love the Greek flavors!
I do the same thing with a really good book…I linger over the last 20 pages or so, willing it not to end. I feel your pain!
I love the idea of these burgers and they have all of the flavors that I love all in one place.
I recall Friends! I know that was like a century ago, but I still to this day think there’s going to be another episode. haha 😀
The sammich sounds so dang good! I love it,especially the sauce!
This deliciousness needs to happen in my kitchen soon!! Love all of these flavors!
Psych is one of my all-time favourite shows!! I have re-watched it many times, and got my husband and neighbours hooked! We finally watched the finale and I was not too disappointed, but I still wish it was on. Or that they would make a movie…
That being said, my dad would love this recipe! I will definitely have to share it with him!
I’ve just changed my mind about dinner tonight…we have all of the ingredients in the fridge to make these and I can’t wait to try this recipe!. They look delicious!
