# How to Make It:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, blend ground chicken, chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until just incorporated to avoid overmixing.
02 -
Divide the mixture evenly into four portions and shape each into a uniform patty of consistent thickness for even cooking.
03 -
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add a thin layer of olive oil. Once hot, place patties in the pan and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden-brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C. Do not press down on the patties during cooking to retain juices.
04 -
Transfer cooked patties to a plate and let rest for several minutes to preserve juiciness.
05 -
Layer the patties on buns or lettuce leaves with your choice of garnishes, including lettuce, tomato, extra cheddar, avocado, red onion, and mayonnaise. Serve immediately.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Patties can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated, or frozen raw for longer storage. Cook from frozen, extending the cook time as needed.
02 -
To make gluten-free burgers, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and buns.
03 -
Outdoor grilling is suitable; oil grill grates well to prevent sticking.
04 -
For added cheese melt, top patties with a cheddar slice during the final minute of cooking and cover.
