How to Make White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers
Step 1: Mix the Burger Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Mix gently until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep the patties tender.
Step 2: Form Patties
Shape the mixture into 4 even-sized burger patties.
Step 3: Cook the Burgers
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Cook the burgers for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
You can also grill them on an outdoor grill if preferred.
Step 4: Toast the Buns
While the burgers cook, toast your burger buns for extra flavor.
Step 5: Assemble & Serve
Layer your burgers with toppings of choice — crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, sliced onions, or even avocado. Add your favorite sauce and enjoy!

Final Tips
For the best texture, use freshly chopped spinach and shred your own white cheddar for maximum meltiness. If you prefer extra spice, add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños to the mix!
