Chicken burgers are often praised for their lower fat content compared to beef, making them an appealing choice for those looking to maintain a healthy diet without sacrificing flavor. Ground chicken is rich in essential nutrients, including protein, B vitamins, and minerals like phosphorus and selenium. By swapping out beef for chicken, you can enjoy a hearty burger while keeping calorie counts in check. Furthermore, the incorporation of spinach and white cheddar cheese enhances the overall nutritional profile, providing additional vitamins and minerals that contribute to a balanced meal.

Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 large egg

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)

Burger buns (your choice)

Toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, and additional cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, diced red onion, minced garlic, egg, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

    Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

      Chill: Place the patties on a plate and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to firm them up. This helps them hold their shape while cooking.

        Cook the Patties: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill over medium heat. Once hot, add the burger patties. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the burgers are golden brown.

          Assemble the Burgers: Toast the burger buns lightly on the skillet or grill. Place each patty on a bun and top with your desired toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, and a slice of additional cheddar if desired).

            Serve: Enjoy your White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers while hot with your favorite sides!
