Ingredients
  

For the Burger Mixture
  • 1 pound Ground Chicken This is the main protein source, ensuring a lean and healthy burger.
  • 2 cups Fresh Spinach Packed with nutrients and moisture; substitute with frozen spinach if needed.
  • 1 cup Shredded White Cheddar Cheese Adds creaminess and flavor; consider mozzarella or gouda as alternatives.
  • 1/2 cup Breadcrumbs Helps bind the mixture; use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Finely Chopped Onion Brings sweetness and depth; can substitute with shallots or omit for milder taste.
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Infuses savory notes; leave it out if sensitive to garlic.
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard Adds zesty tang; yellow mustard works as a substitute if preferred.
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce Provides an umami kick; omit it for simplicity, or use soy sauce as a stand-in.
  • to taste Salt and Black Pepper Essential for seasoning; adjust according to your taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil For cooking patties to prevent sticking; can be swapped with canola oil.
For Assembling
  • 4 Burger Buns These serve as the base; opt for gluten-free buns if that's your preference.
  • Optional Toppings Fresh toppings like lettuce and tomato add a delightful crunch, or layer on more cheese for indulgence.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, fresh spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a spatula to gently blend everything together until well incorporated.
  2. Once your mixture is ready, divide it into four equal portions to shape into patties. Each patty should be about ¾ inch thick, making a slight indentation in the center to ensure even cooking.
  3. Place a skillet over medium heat and drizzle it with olive oil to coat the bottom. Allow the oil to heat up for about 2 minutes.
  4. Carefully place the shaped patties in the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip each patty gently, then cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Let them rest for about 3-4 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. After resting, place each patty on a burger bun. Top with your choice of fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato slices, or extra cheese.
