1 pound ground chicken 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped ½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese ¼ cup breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned) 1 clove garlic, minced 1 teaspoon onion powder ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking) Burger buns and toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, etc.) Instructions: Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into burger patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to prevent puffing during cooking. Cook the Burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Toast Buns (optional): If desired, toast the burger buns in the same skillet for a minute or two until golden brown. Assemble the Burgers: Place each chicken patty on a bun and top with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, or additional cheese. Serve: Enjoy your delicious white cheddar and spinach chicken burgers with a side of fries or a salad!
