To make Green Greek Mayo combine mayonnaise, lime juice and avocado in a small food processor or blender and mix until smooth. To make the patties, combine ground chicken, wine, olives, cheese, red onion, garlic, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, peppercini, roasted red peppers, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions and roll into balls then form into patties. When grill is ready, brush the grill generously with vegetable oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook, turning once, until done to desired preference, 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium. After you have flipped the burgers, lay the pita pockets on the outer rim of grill to warm through. To assemble the burger, gently open each pita pocket and spread a generous amount of mayo mixture in the entire inside of pita, place a patty inside and stuff with endive lettuce.
