½ cup shredded white cheddar cheese

¼ cup breadcrumbs
05 -
¼ cup finely chopped onion
06 -
2 garlic cloves, minced
07 -
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, spinach, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until evenly combined.
02 -
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about ¾-inch thick.
03 -
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Cook the patties for 5–6 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, grill them over medium heat for the same amount of time.
04 -
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate and let them rest for a few minutes. Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese. Serve and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns or serve in lettuce wraps.
02 -
Grill the burgers for a smoky flavor instead of pan-frying.
03 -
Freeze uncooked patties on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Cook directly from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes to the cooking time.
