These White Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers are juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor—made with ground chicken, fresh spinach, sharp white cheddar, and savory seasonings. A healthier twist on traditional burgers, they’re perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or the grill.

Ingredients

  • For the Burgers:
  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for cooking)
  • For Serving (optional):
  • Burger buns
  • Lettuce leaves
  • Tomato slices
  • Extra white cheddar cheese
  • Mayonnaise or preferred sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, spinach, cheddar, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, Dijon, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick. Press a slight dimple in the center of each patty.
  3. Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Brush with olive oil.
  4. Cook patties for 5–6 minutes per side, flipping once, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Let patties rest for a few minutes before serving.
  6. Assemble burgers with buns, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and extra cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Finely chopped raw spinach softens perfectly as the patties cook.
  • Letting patties rest helps them stay juicy.
  • Use an instant-read thermometer for best results.
  • Baked option: 375°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
