  • Author: Miya
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Olive oil (for grilling)
– Burger buns

Instructions

Creating Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix Well: Use your hands to mix the ingredients until everything is well combined. Ensure that the spinach and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the chicken.
3. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4 inch thick.
4. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: If using a grill, preheat to medium-high heat. If using a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook the Patties: Place the chicken patties on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the patties are golden brown.
6. Rest the Burgers: Once cooked, remove the patties from heat and let them rest for about 5 minutes to help retain moisture.
7. Prepare the Buns: While the patties rest, you can toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for extra flavor and texture.
8. Assemble the Burgers: Place a patty on the bottom half of each bun. Add your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and any sauces.
9. Serve Hot: Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately, enjoying the incredible flavors.
