Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3⁄4 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 whole grain burger buns

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Red onion slices
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Using your hands will help for thorough mixing.
  2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape into burger patties, making sure they are of even thickness to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F or 73.8°C).
  4. Toast the Buns: While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or oven until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add your choice of optional toppings such as sliced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, or avocado, then cover with the top half of the bun.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers.

Notes

  • Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
  • You can substitute ground turkey instead of chicken for a slight variation in flavor and texture.
  • Prepare the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • For a low-carb or gluten-free option, serve the burgers wrapped in lettuce leaves instead of buns.
  • Enhance the burger mixture by adding finely chopped bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
