Instructions

Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Using your hands will help for thorough mixing.
Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts and shape into burger patties, making sure they are of even thickness.
Cook the Patties: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 73.8°C).
Toast the Buns: While the burgers cook, toast the burger buns in a separate pan or oven until golden.
Assemble the Burgers: Place each patty on the bottom half of a toasted bun. Add your choice of toppings such as sliced tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, or avocado, then cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers.

Notes

Leftover patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

If you prefer, use ground turkey instead of chicken for a slight variation in flavor and texture.

You can prepare the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking.

For a low-carb or gluten-free option, serve the burgers with lettuce wraps instead of buns.

Feel free to add finely chopped bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms to the burger mixture for added flavor and texture.
