Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheddar Spinach Chicken Burgers
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken with fresh spinach, shredded white cheddar, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Mix gently until combined.
  2. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape into patties, roughly ½ inch thick. Make a slight indentation in the center of each patty.

  5. Transfer the patties to a plate and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Assemble the burgers with patties on buns and desired toppings. Serve immediately.
