Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients and necessary kitchen tools to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, and the egg. Mix gently until all ingredients are just combined to avoid overworking the meat.
  3. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into evenly sized patties about 1 inch thick to ensure even cooking throughout.
  4. Heat Skillet: Warm up olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot before adding the patties to avoid sticking.
  5. Cook Patties: Place the patties carefully in the skillet and cook them for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown on the outside and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and safe to eat.
  6. Serve: Transfer the cooked burgers onto toasted buns and add your favorite toppings and condiments. Enjoy your flavorful and healthy white cheddar and spinach chicken burgers!

Notes

  • Use fresh spinach for the best texture and flavor, but frozen spinach thawed and well-drained can also be used.
  • Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) to prevent any risk of foodborne illness.
  • These burgers can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • Substitute panko bread crumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if desired.
  • For extra flavor, add finely chopped onions or herbs such as parsley or basil to the mixture.
