Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients and kitchen tools. You will need ground chicken, fresh spinach, white cheddar cheese, garlic powder, panko bread crumbs, an egg, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Make sure to have a mixing bowl and a skillet ready, and preheat your skillet over medium heat as you move to the next step.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with the chopped fresh spinach, shredded white cheddar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, panko bread crumbs, and the egg. Mix the ingredients gently until just combined, ensuring that the spinach and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture. Avoid overmixing to keep your patties tender and juicy.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to shape it into burger patties, making them about 1-inch thick. This thickness helps them cook evenly while maintaining their juiciness. Place the formed patties on a plate, making sure to leave space between each one to make cooking easier and promote even browning.
- Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil in the preheated skillet, allowing it to heat for a minute. Carefully add the patties to the skillet without overcrowding. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown. To ensure safety, check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for fully cooked White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. Serve each patty on toasted burger buns, adding your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, or avocado. Pair these delicious burgers with sweet potato fries or a fresh side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
