Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, chopped fresh spinach, shredded sharp white cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly, avoiding overmixing.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about ½ inch thick. Allow them to rest.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. This indicates the oil is hot enough.
  4. Place the patties in the hot skillet. Cook for 5–7 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5–7 minutes, until fully cooked.
  5. While the patties are cooking, slice burger buns in half and toast until golden brown.
  6. Assemble your burgers with a patty on each toasted bun and your favorite toppings.
  7. Serve immediately, enjoying with mayonnaise or your preferred condiment.
