4 leaves green leaf lettuce (romaine with veiny middle cut out)
Preparation
-
In medium bowl,gently mix together chicken,bread crumbs,egg,milk,lemon juice,mint,oregano,salt and pepper until well combined(mixing too vigorously will result in tough burgers).Shape into 4 patties each about 3/4 inch thick.
In a large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high heat.Cook patties about 8 minutes turning once,until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
Meanwhile,cut pitas in half crosswise to make 4 pockets.Warm pitas in 300 degree oven wrapped in aluminum foil for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 1 minute.
Spread inside of pita with mayo then place cooked patty inside with a slice of red onion ,tomato,and some lettuce.enjoy.
