Scale
Burger Mixture
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
- Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and carefully shape each portion into a round, evenly thick patty to ensure uniform cooking.
- Heat Skillet and Cook Patties: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring they are thoroughly cooked and juicy.
- Rest Patties: Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This helps retain juices and improves flavor and texture.
- Assemble Burgers: Place each patty onto a burger bun and add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers!
