White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers

These White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic burger, combining lean ground chicken with spinach and creamy white cheddar.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • 4 burger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese

Instructions

  1. 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 everything is evenly combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties.
