Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the spinach: Rinse fresh spinach thoroughly, then chop it finely to ensure even distribution throughout the chicken mixture.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded cheddar, minced garlic, onion powder, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
  3. Form the patties: Divide the mixture into evenly sized portions and shape each into a burger patty about ¾ inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  4. Cook the burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for approximately 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve and enjoy: Place the warm Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers on buns of your choice, add desired toppings and sauces, and enjoy the juicy, melty flavors.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the ingredients to keep burgers tender and avoid dense texture.
  • Use fresh spinach rather than frozen or canned for best texture and flavor.
  • Ensure chicken burgers are cooked thoroughly to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let cooked patties rest for a few minutes to retain juices.
  • Toast buns lightly for added texture and to better hold sauces.
