Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or almond flour for grain-free)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and finely chop the spinach, mince the garlic, and dice the onion. Crumble the feta cheese and set all aside for easy mixing.
  2. Mix the Patty Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped spinach, crumbled feta, garlic, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly until evenly combined.
  3. Form the Burgers: Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each into a round, flat patty about 3/4-inch thick for even cooking.
  4. Cook the Burgers: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties 5-6 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the Chicken Feta Spinach Burgers rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain juices, then serve on toasted buns or your preferred base.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: Gently combine ingredients to keep the burgers tender and avoid toughness.
  • Pre-cook Spinach: If using raw spinach, briefly sauté to remove excess moisture preventing soggy patties.
  • Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked without drying out.
  • Rest the Patties: Letting them rest a few minutes after cooking seals in flavor and juices.
  • Use Fresh Feta: Crumbled fresh feta melts better and adds optimal creamy flavor.
