White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers

🍔 White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers 🧀🌿
Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese

1 small onion, finely diced (optional)

1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp paprika or smoked paprika (optional)

1 egg (to bind)

¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for texture)

Burger buns and toppings of choice

Instructions:
Prepare the mixture:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix gently until just combined — don’t overwork it to keep burgers tender.

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

Cook the burgers:
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Cook patties for about 5–6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the burgers are nicely browned.

Assemble:
Toast burger buns if desired. Serve patties on buns with your favorite toppings — lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard, avocado, pickles, etc.

Tips:
Add some fresh herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.

For extra cheesy goodness, place a slice of cheddar on top of the patties during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Serve with sweet potato fries or a fresh side salad.
