Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, red onion, avocado, mayo, ketchup
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties. Make sure they are not too thick so they cook evenly.
- Cook the Burgers: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can also grill the burgers for added flavor.
- Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on a bun and top with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh spinach and herbs for the best flavor.
- Avoid Overmixing: Be gentle when mixing the burger ingredients to avoid making the patties too dense.
- Cook to Perfection: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the burgers are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Rest the Patties: Let the cooked patties rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
