Description

These White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers are a flavorful and healthy twist on classic chicken patties, incorporating fresh spinach and sharp white cheddar cheese for extra moisture and taste. Perfectly seasoned and pan-cooked to juicy perfection, they make a delicious meal ideal for lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Burgers

  • 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

For Serving

  • 4 burger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Burger Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, finely chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly without overworking the meat.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round, evenly sized burger patty about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Patties: Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (75°C) to ensure the chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  4. Rest the Patties: Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute within the meat for a juicy bite.
  5. Assemble the Burgers: Place each chicken patty onto a burger bun. Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your wholesome, flavorful chicken burgers.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overmix the burger mixture to keep the patties tender.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness to avoid undercooking poultry.
  • You can swap white cheddar for other cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Feel free to toast the burger buns lightly for extra texture.
  • Leftover patties can be refrigerated and reheated gently for next-day meals.
