Ingredients
Chicken Burger Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the patties: Shape the mixture into 4 evenly-sized patties, ensuring they are compact to hold together during cooking.
- Heat the cooking surface: Preheat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat, allowing it to get hot enough to sear the patties properly.
- Cook the patties: Place the patties on the hot skillet or grill and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) ensuring they are fully cooked and juicy inside.
- Serve: Remove the patties from the heat and serve on buns with your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and condiments for a complete burger experience.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken patties are cooked through to avoid any foodborne illness; use a meat thermometer if possible.
- For added moisture, you can mix a tablespoon of olive oil or mayonnaise into the burger mixture.
- Spinach can be sautéed and drained before mixing if you want to reduce moisture in the patties.
- Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Customize your burger toppings to suit your taste preferences.
