Instructions
To prepare Healthy White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers, follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Mix Well: Using your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Make sure not to overmix, as this can make the burgers tough.
4. Form Patties: Shape the mixture into patties, usually about 1/2 inch thick.
5. Cook Patties: Once the skillet is hot, place the patties in the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Let Rest: After cooking, remove the patties from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows juices to redistribute, making the burgers more flavorful.
7. Prepare for Serving: While the patties rest, you can toast your burger buns if desired.
These steps will guide you to create the perfect Healthy White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers effortlessly.
