Savor our delicious healthy white cheddar spinach chicken burgers recipe Packed with flavor these burgers are a nutritious twist for burger lovers
Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground chicken
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free alternative)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
Burger buns (whole grain or lettuce wraps for a low-carb option)
Optional toppings: sliced avocado, tomato, lettuce, or your favorite condiments
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use your hands to mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾ inch thick. Make sure to press down gently so they hold their shape while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Flip carefully to avoid breaking them!
In the last few minutes of cooking, you can place the burger buns on another pan to toast lightly or simply cut the heat off and let them warm in the skillet for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet. Assemble your burgers by placing a patty on each bun and topping them with your choice of avocado, tomato, lettuce, or condiments. Serve immediately!
