These White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers are a flavorful twist on classic chicken patties, blending lean ground chicken with nutritious spinach and sharp white cheddar cheese for a juicy, cheesy bite.

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 your workspace: Gather all ingredients and cooking tools to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, and the egg. Mix gently until just combined to avoid a tough texture.
  3. Form patties: Shape the mixture into patties approximately 1 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  4. Heat the skillet: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
  5. Cook the patties: Carefully place the patties into the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and turn golden brown.
  6. Serve: Place the cooked patties on toasted buns and add your favorite toppings for a complete and delicious burger experience.

Notes

  • For juicier burgers, avoid overmixing the chicken mixture.
  • Use fresh spinach for best flavor and texture; frozen spinach should be thawed and thoroughly drained.
  • Panko bread crumbs can be substituted with regular bread crumbs if needed.
  • Ensure patties reach the safe internal temperature to avoid undercooked chicken.
  • Customize toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onions, or pickles according to your preference.
