These White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers are a healthier twist on a classic, packed with juicy ground chicken, fresh spinach, and sharp white cheddar. They’re easy to make, full of flavor, and perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a backyard cookout.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup sharp white cheddar, shredded
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • 4 burger buns
  • Optional toppings: lettuce, tomato, avocado, additional cheddar, garlic aioli

Instructions

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, minced garlic, grated onion, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  2. Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty to ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Burgers: Heat a skillet or grill over medium heat and lightly oil the surface. Cook patties for about 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Toast the buns and assemble the burgers with your favorite toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • To keep the burgers extra juicy, avoid overcooking them.
  • Chilling the patties in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before cooking can help them hold their shape.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne or some diced jalapeños.
