How to Make the Best White Cheddar and Spinach Chicken Burgers

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat up your grill.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, spinach, white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the burgers tender.
Shape the mixture into patties. Make them about 1 inch thick.
If grilling, cook over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side. If baking, place the patties on a lined baking sheet and bake for 18–20 minutes. You want that delicious golden crust!
You’ll know it’s ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

How to Serve

Serve these burgers on toasted buns with your favorite toppings for a flavor explosion. Pair them with sweet potato fries or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. For a special touch, add a dollop of garlic aioli for an elegant twist.

How to Store

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. If you want to freeze them, wrap each patty individually to prevent freezer burn. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. Reheat on the stove over medium heat for the best texture.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Result

Check for doneness with a meat thermometer to avoid undercooking.
Use fresh spinach for the best flavor.
Mix in a teaspoon of your favorite herbs for an extra flavor boost.
To avoid soggy burgers, drain any excess moisture from spinach.

Easy Variations to Try

Swap ground chicken for turkey or beef for a different taste.
Add some chopped jalapeños for a spicy version.
Try using feta cheese instead of cheddar for a Mediterranean twist.
