  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground chicken
– 1 ½ cups fresh spinach, chopped
– ½ cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
– ½ cup breadcrumbs (whole wheat preferred)
– 1 large egg
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
– Whole grain burger buns
– Lettuce, tomato, and avocado (for serving)


Instructions

Creating Healthy White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.

2. Form the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties.

3. Heat the Skillet: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Ensure it is hot but not smoking.

4. Cook the Patties: Place the chicken patties in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.

5. Flip the Patties: Carefully flip the patties and cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

6. Melt the Cheese: About two minutes before the patties are done, top each one with a little more shredded white cheddar cheese, covering the skillet to help it melt.

7. Toast the Buns (Optional): In the last couple of minutes, you can also toast your burger buns in the same skillet for added flavor.

8. Assemble the Burgers: Once everything is cooked, place the chicken patty on a toasted bun. Add your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and avocado.

9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious and healthy burgers while they’re hot!
