# How to Make It:
01 -
Mix together the ground chicken, chopped spinach, diced onion, crushed garlic, grated white cheddar, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper in a big bowl. Stir everything gently until mixed well, but don't handle the meat too much.
02 -
Split the chicken mix into four equal parts and shape them into flat, round patties. Pop them in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes if you want them to stay together better.
03 -
Warm up a big non-stick pan or grill on medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until they reach 165°F inside and the cheese has melted through the meat.
04 -
Give the burger buns a quick toast in a pan or toaster until they turn light brown.
05 -
Stack each warm bun with some lettuce, tomato slices, a hot chicken patty, and more cheese or sauce if you want. Eat them right away while they're hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Throw in some fresh chopped basil or parsley to make the flavor even better.
02 -
These burgers go great with a side of sweet potato fries or a simple green salad.
