White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers Recipe

Step 1

Make the Chicken Burger Mix:In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overwork the mixture to keep the patties tender.

Step 2

Form the Patties:Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Gently shape each portion into a patty about 1/2-inch thick. Make a small indentation in the center of each patty with your thumb (this helps them cook more evenly and prevents puffing up).

Step 3

Cook the Patties:Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add the olive oil.Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, add a small slice of white cheddar on top of each patty and cover the skillet to melt the cheese.

Step 4

Assemble the Burgers:Toast the buns lightly in the skillet or oven until golden.Place each patty on a bun, and top with your favorite condiments and burger toppings (lettuce, tomato, pickles, etc.).Serve immediately, and enjoy!
