# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until just incorporated.
02 -
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into 1.3 cm thick patties. Lightly oil your hands if necessary to prevent sticking.
03 -
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side, turning once, until golden and a food thermometer registers an internal temperature of 75°C.
04 -
Allow cooked patties to rest briefly. Toast the burger buns if desired. Assemble each with your choice of lettuce, tomato, and avocado before serving.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Avoid overmixing to ensure tender texture in the patties.
02 -
Using fresh spinach helps prevent excess moisture in the patties.
03 -
Shape patties ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking for convenient meal prep.
04 -
For a gluten-free option, substitute traditional breadcrumbs with gluten-free crumbs.
05 -
Patties can be air fried at 190°C for 12–14 minutes, turning once halfway.
