Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 egg, beaten

Olive oil for cooking

Burger buns

Lettuce, tomato, and additional toppings of choice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

    Bind the Mixture: Add the beaten egg to the mixture and combine until it holds together. If the mixture feels too wet, you can add a bit more breadcrumbs to stiffen it up.

      Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into equal portions (about 4-6, depending on your preferred burger size) and shape them into patties. Press firmly to ensure they hold their shape.

        Heat the Skillet: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches if necessary.

          Cook the Patties: Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on one side until they develop a nice golden crust. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes on the other side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and they’re fully cooked through.

            Toast the Buns: While the burgers are cooking, you can toast the burger buns in a separate skillet or on a grill for added flavor and crunch.

              Assemble the Burgers: Once cooked, place the chicken patties on the toasted buns. Top with lettuce, tomato, and any additional toppings you desire (such as avocado or aioli).

                Serve: Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like sweet potato fries or a fresh salad. Enjoy your delicious White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers!
