Ingredients

Scale

For the Burgers

  • 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 Workspace: Gather all ingredients and kitchen tools needed to make the burger patties and cook them.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, and egg. Mix gently just until everything is evenly incorporated, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  3. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into burger patties about 1 inch thick, making sure they’re uniform in size for even cooking.
  4. Heat Oil: Warm the olive oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
  5. Cook Patties: Place the chicken patties carefully into the skillet. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes, or until the patties are golden brown on the outside and register an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) for safety.
  6. Serve: Transfer the cooked patties to toasted buns and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure ground chicken is fresh for the best flavor and safety.
  • Do not overmix the burger mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • You can substitute panko bread crumbs with regular bread crumbs if preferred.
  • Use a meat thermometer to confirm the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding finely chopped onion or herbs like parsley.
