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!
