Ingredients

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 egg

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil, for grilling

4 burger buns

Optional toppings: sliced tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, mayonnaise

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, green onions, egg, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 3/4 inch thick.

Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken patties to the pan. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.

Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the patties are golden brown.

Toast the burger buns on the grill or in a toaster until lightly browned.

Assemble the burgers by placing each chicken patty on a toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings such as sliced tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, and a smear of mayonnaise.

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers!
