Chicken burgers are somewhat notorious for being dry, but this recipe has a smart tip for ensuring a juicy, flavorful burger every time. Can you guess what it is?

Greek yogurt!

By mixing the ground chicken with plain yogurt, cumin, chili powder, panko breadcrumbs, and Worcestershire sauce, you create a burger patty that’s sure to retain its moisture while cooking.

Once you have your burgers, give them even more flavor by topping them with a homemade salsa and cilantro-avocado sauce. You won’t ever think of chicken burgers as sad, dry hockey pucks again.
