Description
Delicious and juicy White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers that are creamy and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound 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 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
- 4 burger buns
- Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, extra cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground chicken, spinach, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 4 equal patties, pressing them gently but firmly to hold their shape.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices.
- Toast the burger buns lightly, then assemble each burger with your favorite toppings: lettuce, tomato, or an extra layer of melty cheddar.
- Serve warm and enjoy the balance of cheesy, garlicky flavor with a touch of spinach freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches the proper internal temperature for safety.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to your preference.
- These burgers can be grilled instead of pan-fried if desired.
