Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix ground chicken, spinach, cheddar, garlic powder, panko, egg, salt, and pepper just until combined.
  • Shape into 1-inch-thick patties, pressing a small indentation in the center to prevent puffing.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium until shimmering. Add patties and cook 5–6 minutes per side, until golden brown and the internal temp reaches 165°F. A little cheese oozing is a good sign.
  • Serve on toasted buns with toppings like fresh tomatoes, pickles, or a smear of Dijon.
