Instructions
Step‑by‑Step Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Add breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties about ½ inch thick. Press centers slightly for even cooking. Rest patties on a plate while heating your skillet.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken patties to the skillet.
Cook patties for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F).
While cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in the oven or griddle.
Assemble burgers by placing a warm patty on each toasted bun and adding fresh toppings of your choice.
Finish with mayonnaise or preferred condiment, and serve immediately while warm.
