Follow these simple steps to create your White Cheddar & Spinach Chicken Burgers:
1. Prepare the Spinach: Rinse and chop the fresh spinach into small pieces.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with chopped spinach, shredded white cheddar cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and oregano.
3. Form Patties: With clean hands, divide the mixture into four equal portions and form into burger patties. Ensure they are evenly shaped for even cooking.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or grill, heat olive oil over medium heat.
5. Cook Patties: Add the burger patties to the skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Toast Buns: If desired, toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster for added crunch.
7. Assemble: Place the cooked patties on the bottom half of the toasted buns. Add your choice of toppings like avocado, lettuce, and tomato.
8. Serve: Cover with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
