Chicken "Gyro" Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb ground chicken
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1/4 of an onion, finely chopped
    2 teaspoons italian seasoning (I used one that has rosemary and oregano in particular)
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    additional olive oil (for cooking)
    4 pita bread
    dill dip (I use storebought, but I imagine this would work well with mayo, feta cheese, or tzatziki sauce as w)
    tomatoes
    lettuce or greens
Preparation
    1.) Place ground chicken in a bowl, along with the garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, 1 TBSP olive oil and lemon juice.
    2.) Here, I mix everything up with my hands, and form this mixture into 4 patties. You can feel free to mix with a spoon if you prefer before forming them into patties by hand.
    3.) Place a small amount (about 1-2 TBSP) of olive oil in a frying pan. Once the pan is hot, place patties into the pan (I suggest using a larger frying pan if doing them all at once, so they're not touching too much during cooking).
    4.) Keep a close eye on these and flip as needed, as they will cook quickly.
    5.) While these patties are cooking, warm the pitas in the oven or microwave. Once warmed, spread a small amount of dill dip (or your condiment of choice) on the pita.
    6.) Once the patties are cooked, place a patty on one side of each pita, and top patties with a slice of tomato and lettuce. Close the pita together, making a \"roll\" of sorts for your chicken burger.
    7.) Enjoy!
